What an horrific story. Having heard the headlines when this story broke I definitely didn't know the true scope of the evil these three women went through and escaped from. Michelle is a true survivor.

Michelle is truly one of the bravest women alive. I read this books and cried at the beginning, middle, and end. The things that this terrible man did to her is the sickest thing you could do to any human being. I and deeply affected by…

Michelle Knight's book was heart breaking and true to herself. I really enjoyed the book because I got an insight on the story. Her story moved me and made me realize the issues within our world. However, the book only contained a few…

Michelle Knight wrote this moving memoir about her troubled childhood and her later abduction. She spent over a decade imprisoned along with two other girls inside a dilapidated white house in Cleveland. Michelle describes in great detail…

Great book i couldn't put it down. A few times i found myself in tears over what those 3 ladies went through and the strength and courage it took to remain alive and positive they're definitely heros.

Heartbreaking. Book could have been condensed, very repetitive.

I couldn't put the book down. I read it in about two days. I am glad she was able to tell her story and move on with her life. It was sad how she had to take most of the abuse while there before the others arrived.

Amazing story of survival , though I was a little disappointed that their wasn't more written about life after escape from that monster Castro . I'm so happy for the woman that they have reclaimed their lives and may god bless them:-)

Just watched the movie and was amazed that she was able to endure all that she did. I am so proud of you for being the strength for Amanda and Gina. You have the courage that most people only wish they had. She is a survivor. Wish I had…

I couldnt beleive what this poor woman had gone through, before and after being kidnapped, and held hostage. I think her previous life before the kidnapping prepared her for what was to come. I couldnt even imagine what her and the other…

That this book was written in a fairly simple style, with very little emotion showing, had an even bigger impact on me than if Michelle had been able to express her experiences more fully. She was tortured and learned that she should not…

Spoiler The book was hard for me to read because it made me emotional but I'm glad Micheal, and the girls got out of there and away from that monster. Nicely written. Was not aware of all the abuse Michel when through before the…

This is a very difficult book to read, but Knight captures one of the most horrifying stories of our time very well. She, DeJesus and Berry are true heroes for holding on as long as they did despite the indignities visited upon them. As…

Michelle was abused long before being kidnapped, which was news to me. Very sad. And then to be kidnapped and continually raped and beaten by that freak, you would wonder how she kept her sanity. I'm so impressed with how she's dealing…

After reading this book, I feel so bad for all those girls. How horrible to have so many years taken away by someone who just wanted to have a family. It only goes to show that people who are raped as a child CAN continue that horror on…

I admire her so much for her bravery in that horrible place. It's amazing how strong she is. Michelle deserves to see her son and so much more. That man was awful and I can't believe how someone could do such things. Michelle Knight you…

Michelle Knight is my hero. For her to go through so much torment, abuse, and trauma and still have such a positive outlook on life is simply amazing. I could not put this book down and would recommend it to anyone.
