A difficult book to read. It must also have been a very difficult book to write - collaboratively with a person who would have to reach into dreadful, terror stricken memories from his childhood to recall the horrors and narrate them while retaining perspective.
Jack and his family also exemplify the very best in humans - their love bonds and support for each other. Most of all the narrative demonstrates human hope and courage that can sustain and help a person overcome all odds.
We all know what Governments and uncaring bureaucracy is all about, Jack's fight to change status quo and his success provide a most heartening and welcome outcome. I would still say Shame on the Liberal party representatives then in the House and their despicable behaviour, as evidenced in this book.
