I'm finding it hard to express my opinion of this book. Jaycee's story is just so terrifying and fascinating and depressing and inspiring... I love the authenticity of the book, but at the same time, I really wish an editor had gone through and ironed some things out. Jaycee's education only went up...
This book is very spooky and can easily impress someone because has some very real and explicit scenes.I still don't believe that a human being was able to do this to another human being, especially the second being a little innocent girl.This book has opened my eyes for some situations and has taug...
I remember first seeing Jaycee Dugard's face on a rerun episode of Unsolved Mysteries as a young kid and I could never get her face out of my head. Years later I saw the news of her being rescued. I was so intrigued when this memoir was released because I desperately wanted to know what had happened...
I started reading this book a long time ago, and I had to take a break from it for a while because a lot of the graphic details were too much for me to stomach.

A horrible story. I found it hard to understand how Stockholm syndrome could have damaged her mind so much that she wouldn't attempt to escape, especially in the later years when her kidnappers gave her more freedom. I know that Stockholm syndrome is a psychological condition that is recognised and ...

This is a hard book to rate and review. Jaycee Dugard has lived through hell and somehow managed to survive. Her story is difficult to read. When it comes to some of the abuse she suffers she doesn't hold back on the descriptions. The way her kidnappers have brainwashed her into trusting and at time...
