My mom and my sister both are the kind of people that can watch a scary movie and not sleep for two days! I was blessed with my dad's ability to sleep anywhere and let go of a problem as though it were dust in the wind...mom and Lisa are not like me. But I did let Lisa borrow the book, so we shall see how she does.

The two will decide for themselves whether to read it or not.<br />Me, I would neither read it nor recommend it.

In real life if you see something like violence or sexual assault or molestation against children you can at least do something, call the police or child social services....but when you read it in a book and you can't do anything about it, well it makes you feel helpless. It was a difficult book to read. I'm glad I'm not the only one that felt that way.Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18196096131750922174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567723504977931374.post-62939783779014684212014-05-09T10:01:21.017-07:002014-05-09T10:01:21.017-07:00I somehow think it would be one that you would lik...I somehow think it would be one that you would like.Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18196096131750922174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567723504977931374.post-48082821073400992762014-05-09T08:59:06.131-07:002014-05-09T08:59:06.131-07:00No I have not read it.

True crime or fictional crime thrillers are hard to read, but I always feel like I know what I am getting into. I guess I just expected racism and violent activity, but to the extent that some of it was detailed made me extremely queasy and gave me nightmares for days. I am sure it didn't help that I typically read before bed to relax.Cupcake Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04350908909035822855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567723504977931374.post-8234010745830149072014-05-08T21:19:58.426-07:002014-05-08T21:19:58.426-07:00I really enjoyed your post, so honest and open.

I know I gave it five stars as well. My sister is demanding to read it, so I guess I'll let her, she's been warned!

I loved it, but like you said, it was very heavy and hurt my heart. The night I stayed up to finish it, I had a nightmare! I gave it 5 stars on Goodreads, but I don't know if I can say "you've got to read this book". It definitely needs a disclaimer.Briana Fordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15424207751968686551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567723504977931374.post-12349178213625084412014-05-07T20:30:43.285-07:002014-05-07T20:30:43.285-07:00I'm glad you did choose this one.
