I read this soon after finishing "My Story" by Dave Pelzer. The story plots are similar with views into child abuse and coming of age in harsh circumstances

A truly heart breaking yet inspiring story. The author made sure to write such a personal story in a way that you can't easily put down the book. I was so sad throughout the book and always saying from the inside that it can't get possibly worse, but it did and then out of nowhere hope showed up and it really left me with mixed feelings of happiness and sadness. I really hope everyone included in the book has found a closure after so many years because their story is truly an example of how one incident can turn the lives of so many the other way around.

Although I have this book a 5 star rating there was times where I felt it dragged but I still couldn't Bring myself to stop reading! An amazingly powerful message (or some could argue messages) come from this book and has opened my eyes about how cruel the world actually can be!
Heartbreaking yet fascinating reading the facts of what goes on behind closed doors!

This book deals with such a heavy topic and i feel nothing bur regret and compassion for poor McCann. But, no matter how much I felt sorry for him and how much I times I thought that it couldn't get worse only better, I just don't think this should have been written down in a book. It wasn't particularly good and I think it could have been told in some interview or something like that and not in a whole book.
