I had the Jaycee Dugard one in my hands recently but decided not to get it just because I had a ton of other things I wanted to read more. Someday though!<br /><br />~DebDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05658958620972494748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5714980244556913165.post-4858682659914342432016-08-03T20:24:56.529+10:002016-08-03T20:24:56.529+10:00I completely agree with you on the power of short ...I completely agree with you on the power of short and quick books. As part of the spouse's book club here, I read two books written by survivors of abduction (A Stolen Life by Jaycee Dugard, My Story by Elizabeth Smart) and the way in which each book was written detracted from the story in my opinion. The writing style was choppy in crucial places while drawn out in some of the uglier parts. Of course, neither story was written by a skillful author and the stuff actually happened, but it was a hard read because of the writing more so than the content. I kind of expected that same feeling while reading this book and was pleasantly surprised!Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14804234325450434702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5714980244556913165.post-45627823564447357822016-08-01T21:16:56.794+10:002016-08-01T21:16:56.794+10:00Several years ago I read Living Dead Girl, by Eliz...Several years ago I read Living Dead Girl, by Elizabeth Scott. That one was quite troubling. A guy had abducted the main girl when she was young, told her all the lies like her family was dead or whatever. He keeps her living with him for years, repeatedly sexually abusing her. It was disturbing for sure but it was a short and quick book. It presented just enough information, quite bluntly, for you to know what was happening without going into long drawn out details. I think it makes it more powerful that way.<br /><br />~DebDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05658958620972494748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5714980244556913165.post-53389533360469532882016-08-01T19:20:37.717+10:002016-08-01T19:20:37.717+10:00It was hard when I thought too much about how the ...It was hard when I thought too much about how the story would apply to the lives of those around me. The good thing was it went by too quick for me to dwell on it. Definitely thought provoking, and there are even discussion questions at the back of the book to make you think even deeper into the meaning of the story. I skipped over that LOL<br />I will start doing more book reviews since you ladies liked it so much <3Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14804234325450434702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5714980244556913165.post-85880865688963614032016-08-01T19:18:22.193+10:002016-08-01T19:18:22.193+10:00Oh man, I figured my book review was out of the or...Oh man, I figured my book review was out of the ordinary for my blog but I didn't think it'd warrant this sort of attention from you ladies! <3 I will definitely make more efforts to post book reviews from now on!Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14804234325450434702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5714980244556913165.post-55856187684569007202016-08-01T19:17:29.138+10:002016-08-01T19:17:29.138+10:00I'll send my copy to you in my care package!

That way you don't have to search for it and pay full price!<br /><br />This year I've read quite a few troubled tales like this and it makes me wonder if I'm finally at a point in my life where I don't mind this type of content.

And perhaps I'm a sicko but I do like troubled tales like this.<br /><br />Nice to see a book review here!<br /><br />~DebDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05658958620972494748noreply@blogger.com
