rpow14's review against another edition

The descriptions of abuse and absolute torment were too much for me. The mother exhibits every type of abuse there is on her children and her housemate. Knowing this was based on a true story added to the horror.

4.5

This book was intense. Well written so that it flowed more like a narrative than just straight non-fiction. Keeps you hooked until the very end. Read with caution though, the details are really tough.
