A big disappointment, especially after reading "The Lovely Bones" last year, which I would rate a 9. I did not care for the choppiness of this book at all: Alice's flashbacks to her college experiences and her youth - nothing flowed and she told these in such a segmented way, I felt myself saying "...and then what?" all too often. I found Sebold's tone throughout pretentious. The trial was told as mainly a transcript. Borderline 2-3 rating, but I'll lean toward the 3 since the rape experience was well told and I liked Alice's poem.
