by Natascha Kampusch
A while ago my sister saw an interview concerning the story of Natascha Kampusch, I'm not sure if it was with Natascha or someone else though. I think it was the first time I had heard about the story, but I have seen images of a concrete door in a wall and in my head this is what is described in the book, but, sad to say about our society, it could also be from somebody else story.
I was probably attracted to this book through curiosity, but it is by far a better book that I thought it would be. The story of the abduction is sad enough and how the years of torment Natascha lived too; but what is rarer here is that we get the opinions and the way the author perceived and perceives life. It is hard for me to think of this person as a victim (yes, there is no denying she was) because the force of character displayed by her through her captivity and the years following is just amazing.
This is a very adult book with a very adult way of seeing life. I completely understand the way she perceives her kidnapper. I have nothing resembling this in my family, but somebody did a horrible crime and I have been confronted with people not understanding that I still love this person... So I completely agree with this young woman when she says everything is shades of gray because everything is and unless you have lived through something, you cannot judge the person who has.
The author has a good grasp of how our society works, her thoughts are really eye opening. This is a very courageous book and I admire Natascha Kampusch greatly.
