ingrids's review against another edition

4.5

Wow. This story is both fascinating and horrendous at the same time. But most importantly, it's written in such a captivating way. I couldn't put the book down, I was hooked from the first page. I haven't had such an immersive reading experince in a long time and it's mainly because of that that I rate this book so highly. I can't really rate the content of the story since it's a memoir, but the storytelling was practically perfect.
