Well written, but difficult to read because of the horrific and devastating truth of the subject and its reality. I almost stopped reading a few times because of how horrific the subject matter was, but kept telling myself if the victims lived through this situation the least I can do is read their story as they didn’t have the choice to put the book down when it became too much for them.
A rough read, due to the incredible torture described. But I was disappointed that the book wasn't as well written as Mr. Olsen's fiction novels. It almost seemed as though someone else had written the book. If you want the truth about how abusive parents can be, I'll recommend this book. If you want a taut, superbly written mystery, I'll happily recommend any of his other books!
This honestly just dragged on and on! I kept waiting for someone to kill the mom and make it end. Overall though, the girls were resilient and I’m glad they prevailed.
This is the hardest book I’ve ever read. While it was well written, the graphic content of abuse and murder made it difficult to get through. Children should never be subjected to this kind of treatment. NO ONE should be subjected to this kind of treatment. While Shelly is a monster and possibly the worse human on the planet, it was Dave I hated the most. He continued to turn a blind eye to all that was happening and contributed to the pain and suffering both survivors and fatal victims went through. It’s sad that he was able to get out and live any type of life knowing that Kathy, Shane, and Ron didn’t make it. Shelly is said to be getting out this year and it sickens me. While I don’t want to wish badly on anyone, Shelly should never see the light of day. She should be buried under the prison for all I care. The sheriff department should also pay for their part in Ron’s murder as they did nothing to prevent it knowing Shelly’s history. This is the best worse book I’ve ever read.
