review 1: I thought the book was okay. I wasn't bothered by the graphic content. I expected it considering the subject matter. I thought there were parts of the book that went on for too long (some of it understandable) and several parts the left you wondering. I know it was necessary to focus on Bullet and the group of young girls, but was Flashy and the time focused on the auctions needed? I would like to have known a little more about Saleema and Kahlil's background. Were Lollipop's parents trying to find her? What about the mental effects of the survivors? Etc, etc.This could have made a fabulous trilogy exploring the issue of sex trafficking/teenage prostitution, motivation of those who risk their lives to help, and the recovery process of the abused.
review 2: This... more was one of THE BEST books I have read. I recently picked this book up and read it for the 2nd time after almost a year and half ago, this time more slowly and I definitely read parts that I didn't even remember the first time...This book is gritty, spoken with truth, and it describes exactly what is going on today with human trafficked victims. This book is very dear to my heart, because I am in school to become a social worker so that I can work in this particular field. This book has touched my soul!!! less
