I guess I do like this type of memoir more so than stunt memoir, which I know you really like. But I am glad there are so many different type of books out there for all of us!<br /><br />@Juju - I guess, when we read the news article, we had some idea what she went through, at least by "facts". But it's just more heartbreaking to read when she told it. I really just can't imagine what she went through.christa @ mental foodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06272799752169958460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5454479067313539656.post-42015602663719329762011-11-23T17:14:00.637-06:002011-11-23T17:14:00.637-06:00Awesome review.

I heard about this one, but never really was curious bout reading it... I'm not sure why. Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed it -- sounds difficult to read, but interesting too.Kim (Sophisticated Dorkiness)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09240085627916462704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5454479067313539656.post-54336303711766547222011-11-18T00:30:42.329-06:002011-11-18T00:30:42.329-06:00@Marce - yeah it just came out a couple of months ...@Marce - yeah it just came out a couple of months ago. Though it seemed kinda weird that in a short period of time, a lot of girls who had been missing were found (e.g. Elizabeth Smart was another one). I think since she made it clear from the beginning that the story may jump all over the place, or may get a bit repetitive, I was prepared so it wasn't as bad.<br /><br />@Aths - When I read Room, I was thinking more of that Austrian case for some reason, instead of this one, maybe because of the news at that time. This book is different from Room though. I guess this would be more like ma's story in Room?christa @ mental foodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06272799752169958460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5454479067313539656.post-23972444832196371492011-11-17T13:33:57.717-06:002011-11-17T13:33:57.717-06:00I wish I hadn't read ROOM, then I would want t...I wish I hadn't read ROOM, then I would want to read this one. I did read her story on Wiki, and it's pretty terrifying - her whole experience.Athirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03366654538383603004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5454479067313539656.post-25838822489530287192011-11-16T08:03:12.312-06:002011-11-16T08:03:12.312-06:00Holy shit is the only thing I can think of to say....Holy shit is the only thing I can think of to say. I had no idea this was a memoir, I remember little bits of this but I'm not from the US either.<br /><br />I will read this also. Sounds like I will get passed the repetitive part.Marcehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10136238772526246675noreply@blogger.com
