sammiepineapple's review against another edition

dark sad tense medium-paced

3.0

The book was descriptive, these children and at risk adults were certainly living a nightmare. It is scary to think about the people in the world who are truly doing these things. 

As for the book, it felt a little long winded and repetitive. I wouldn’t read it again but I’m glad I finished it.

The author sometimes goes over something multiple times and the story isn't always linear
