review 1: My wife was one of the ones sold into that life, but she escaped, I read it to learn the horrors she lived through after she told me ho accurate it was. The result of my reading was an intense desire to find and free those women and to with the most harsh manner possible torture the men who enslave them, but not let them die for years...just constant torture for the things they make these helpless women endure. My wife was cut to leave words scarring her flesh and the words were degrading. But I do not see the scars just her beauty.
review 2: God in a Brothel was not what I thought it would be. I cannot relate to the author because it seems -- and I mean no disrespect with this-- a little vanilla. The author Mr. Walker is a Christian from New Zealand who is spu
... morerred to do something heroic with his life. He obtains a job as an investigator for a Christian nonprofit organization that fights and breaks down human trafficking on a global scale. The book takes the reader everywhere from Las Vegas to Southeast Asia to the Caribbean. Like I was saying, sometimes I feel that a book (or movie, for that matter) is so visceral and well-written, so cutting, that I never want to read it again because I'm completely satisfied. Such books are Schindler's List, And the Band Played On or Reversal of Fortune. I THOUGHT God in a Brothel would be another one. I went tentatively into reading it, wanted to study more about human trafficking. I did a Google search to find a book about human trafficking and came up with this. When I read the summary I thought it was interesting because it was looking at human trafficking from a man's point of view, like the FBI agents who went undercover and joined the KKK. As an investigator, Mr. Walker does travel the world in order to close down brothels whose "employees" are being held there against their wills. However, he doesn't get into any of the stories, not really. less

A great perspective if you're passionate about anti-human trafficking efforts. Real stories.

It was eye opening - especially the stuff about Las Vegas and the sex trafficking there.
