Freedom: My Book of Firsts by Jaycee Dugard
2.0

I honestly did not enjoy this book as much as I thought that I would. I was so excited to read it when I first saw it in the store but it was just so disappointing.

I found a lot of the chapters she would go off and talk about something completely unrelated to what she was first speaking about, and it was very choppy. A lot of the things she would talk about especially if it was repeated wasn't exactly in order, for instance in the chapter about her best friend she talks about the best man and photographer at her friends wedding but had talked about him a few times before but introduced him as a whole new character, and then she also talked about her mom marrying her friend and how she had to look into being ordained but had already spoken about her mom being re-ordained earlier.

I get that Jaycee didn't finish school and probably still does have the mind of a young girl because she didn't really get to experience growing up and maturing but I still think with a better editor this book would have been much better.
