At times, this is an absolute horror. It is often described so plainly, it is a horror in itself, to come face to face with the normalisation of such immense suffering. It is impossible not to reflect whilst reading this.
It gets a bit slow following the rescue - a fair bit seems unrelated to the story and the message as a whole. But still a gripping and worthwhile read.
