The author grabs the reader's attention immediately, and has it hence forth. The book describes the horrors the victim suffered, but also jumps back and forth to the trial. The book is very descriptive of the characters, but leaves out some of their personal histories. It would have been nice to know more about the victim's past, rather than just the immediate. Same goes for her predator. Nevertheless, I rate this a four star book, because it captured, and kept my attention, but lacked a few details that I would have appreciated.

I read this many years ago and still cannot believe this could happen to anyone. How she endured those years is amazing. Great read, will stay with you long after your done reading it. I will never except a ride from anyone even if I break down in the middle of no where after reading this!

There's a section in this book where a witness for the prosecution describes the step-by-step process of how someone can build control to a level where they could be 'let out' and still be controlled etc. It was while reading this book that i realised i was with a highly manipulative con. I ran away from him a few weeks later. For this reason I give this book the maximum rating.
