First, reader be warned there are some very disturbing things discussed in this book.

On to the review: The synopsis for this book really undersells it. It's absolutely a standout piece of writing, and the style is unique and pulls you in. Biographies and memoirs are always hit and miss for me, some sliding into the boring end of the pile, but this is certainly top of the greatest hits list. An extremely powerful story that many should read if for no reason other than to broaden their view of the world.

Too horrifying and fascinating if the events depicted in the book are true. An intriguing and gripping read.
