Although this book is very sad and disgusting on so many levels, I have given this book the highest possible rating because it outlines the poor justice system we have. Not just in Britain and America but all over the world. Many of the children's deaths in this book could have been prevented if it wasn't for the poor care from social services and other associations. This book made me feel very strongly disgusted at the world.
Bravo for the well written piece of work!

"The bond between parent and child is the strongest natural connection imaginable. But in rare and shocking cases, that bond can be brutally broken."

I didn't have many thoughts on this book before I read it, but anything I could have possibly thought was blown out of my mind. The author has made such an interesting book on such a sad topic. She was able to hook me in and often made it hard for me to put the book down. It was so factual and made me want to read more of her books. It was far better than I was expecting.

This book does go into detail about the cases, which are neatly separated into different topics, and I wouldn't recommend it for the faint of heart. I found myself getting upset and feeling sick whilst reading about the child abuse cases, so if you can't stomach details, skip this book.
