I absolutely enjoyed this second book in the story of Dave Pelzer. I once again was moved by his strength and the way he tells his story. Although the first book did bring the feels out in me more than this one I still really think his story is one of importance to share. So enchantingly moving.

I don't know what possessed me to read this book when I was 10 years old but it's fair to say this is not a 10 year old friendly book. There was some trauma and recurring nightmares and 8 years later I have an aversion to a book which I reckon is probably a very good book if it weren't for the circumstances.

Personally wasn't as interested in this one.
Because of that, I won't be reading the third book either.
Nothing to complain about, was well written.
