review 1: I noticed some repetitive statements, but overall it is well researched and very chilling read. Something that will make everything stop around you... just you, coffee, couch, and the book. (finished it in less than 24hours!) It was a very fast read but very well worth it. I'm a fan of true crimes, somehow this topped my list.I remember watching the news sometime years ago about Joseph Fritzl and his secret cellar. I was so horrified of the news but somehow I grew some kind of interest on their case and their story as to how it all came about. Reading the book gave a much intimate detail on the horror Elizabeth Fritzl endured compared to what was depicted on the news and some documentaries. It's definitely not a read for the weak soul...
review 2: It's so har... mored to rate a true crime book due to the hardship that the ones involved had to endure. I did read it quite fast because it caught my attention since the first moment. John Glatt did a great job writing this book. ABOUT THE BOOK: Secrets in the Cellar is a book about a father that becomes obsessed with his daughter to the point that he rapes her and has her incarcerated as his sex slave (although claims to make her his wife) for 25 years in the cellar of his home..! In those 25 long and painful years he fathers 7 children with her, 3 that he took from her to live "upstairs" in the real world raised by his wife, 3 that live without stepping outside ever and one that died as a newborn. This book or should I say the story is very disturbing and I would only recommend it to a true crime fan because not everyone would have the "gut" to read such horrifying events! less
