review 1: I don't even know how to rate a book like this? It's kinda like "ah, no, your story wasn't good enough for me, but thanks for trying". Which obviously isn't the case. It's a horrible story, but well told I suppose.I am very impressed by her attitude of not wanting to be reduced to a weak victim abused by a horrible monster, but instead pointing out that while everything that happened was wrong, the criminal was still human and had his good sides as well as the many bad ones. I'm appalled by the response this attitude has generated from the general public: and I've read that in her most recent interviews she said that she was not comfortable with other people and had stopped studying. I just can't believe that people are willing to turn on someone like her just because she ... moredoesn't fit her narrow definition of a victim.I've been wanting to read this book for a while, and I'm happy she got to tell her story her way. I do hope everything works out for the best for her in the end, and that people stop being assholes.
review 2: Obviously the book was not entirely written only by her. The hole book, but mainly at the beginning it has a lot of psychological points of view, doubt it were her points of view. And what I really didn’t like was the fact that the book has not a good chronology. The book starts when she was 10, then she was a baby, than a young little girl. It’s somehow confusing. I would like to read more about ther thoughts and points of view. less
