"Lucky"
This story was absolutely repulsive, but I don't think I need to say that since everyone who reads this has read the story. I was very turned-off by how I felt toward the rapist after he was done raping her. I almost sympathized for him in a way. Not how you think, though! I just believe that any person that has such a terrible problem, just like pedophiles and murderers, need help. They know it's wrong, but there is something in their brain pushing them to do it. Don't get me wrong; blame the rapist. It just threw me off guard when he was being so sympathetic to Alice after he raped her. It was creepy and I don't understand why she would put that in her memoir. This story is extremely detailed, and that's why I think it was so gruesome to read. I had to take a break from it the first time I read it. It's intense.

I agree that the story is absolutely, one hundred percent messed up. I understand what you are saying about the rapist, but I thought that part was even more crazy than the rest when he started to apologize! I can't really put myself into those shoes of being a girl who is rapped because for starters I am a guy, but to think if that was one of my very close friends who got attacked and raped, or even some stranger, I would have zero sympathy for the assaulter. Its just that messed up.
