This Book had me torn. At first it was frustrating. Imagine listening to a five year old tell a story for days...that is what reading this book was like. I did get used to it but a lot of it was frustrating because the five year old is very narcissistic. He wants what he wants and will throw a fit if he doesn't get it.
So to take an emotionally fragile and sheltered five year old and suddenly turn his world upside down and show him that the world is much bigger than four walls and a skylight then you are going to have issues which is what this Mom had...as well as all the others.
But eventually I understood. I understood the Mom's decisions, and I understood that this was a five year old going through this event...and on top of that, a grown woman was acting the part of a five year old and she did an AMAZING job.
Because of the frustration, I only gave this book around 3.5 stars...probably closer to 3.75. But it was more because it was hard to experience, hard to read, and not real. I did read Jaycee Dugard's book and I would rate hers higher because she was really there...she's not an author, she's a survivor.
If you like strange experiences, this is definitely one to read...I wouldn't say don't read it...but I wouldn't recommend it either just because this stuff does happen in today's world.
