Please note that the star rating is no reflection on the author nor her experiences which are detailed throughout this book. I have the utmost respect and empathy for Ms Dugard — the courage the author showed in penning this book is incredible.
I highly recommend 'A Stolen Life' for those interested in true crime and Ms Dugard's case. This book is incredibly difficult to read but is extremely worthwhile. It is a gift to be able to hear directly from the voice of the survivor of this case and I'm really glad that I listened to the audiobook of this.
My rating stems from the writing of the book itself — the writing style of which could have been stronger and more fully formed. However, I understand the difficulties in editing/altering the voice in a book like this.
Regardless of rating, I would recommend picking this one up. While immensely painful at parts, hearing from Ms Dugard directly — and listening to her speak with the utmost positivity, grace and kindness was very rewarding.
