Spoilers!!

A very quick read. I did enjoy reading it but to be honest the storyline was sometimes a bit ridiculous.

The family that was "captured"had enough chances to get away. Someone suggested they were suffering from Stockholm syndrome but I do not think you can get attached to your captures so soon, in a week or even shorter? What I also thought was ridiculous was it is a small town and then suddenly people starting to think Shaw is Jesus. And that is all normal. He starts a kind of a church (all in a week’s time) lol and the police and the citizens all find that normal.

I will give it 3 stars because it did kept me interested.

Yes! I am so glad that I’ve finished reading this book (not glad about that) but that I loved book 3. I loved book 1 told everybody about it, could not wait for book 2 but was disappointed by it, but thankfully book 3 was great. i could not put it down. It wasn’t constantly about which boy she would pick thankfully, but much more real. It is sad, exiting,a book you can’t stop reading once you begin and it even made me cry! (that does not happen a lot). I also liked the ending with all the sadness. Suzanne Collins thanks for not letting me down!

I could have easily given it a 1 star except for the fact that it was an intriguing story so I decided to give it 2 stars.

All the Bible talk got me annoyed and as someone else also mentioned, we still do not know how come they did not recognise there own daughter for 5 weeks!

Another thing I wonder about. How come Whitney has blocked the 5 weeks with the van Ryn’s? So her memories after the accident only started when she finally got caught up with her family. That’s quite telling. They also did not address that or what this mix up will have done to Whitney’s healing process. I think more than 1/3rd if not half is talk about religion

At first I thought it to be interesting but after a while it started to get laughable. This shrink is lucky. He just wrote a book about multiple personality disorder and then 5 different people come in his practice and he discovered they were all abused by satanist as a child and are all suffering from MPD.

I looked on the Internet to find more about this subject and there are some interesting sites about ritual abuse and multiple personality disorder. They’ve never find a shrink of evidence that all those people that say they were abused were actually abused. It appears that a lot of people start to think they were abused when they are hypnotized and treated by psychologists.

Well Mister Mayer was able to sell a book again. The writing was quite good actually.

Here some interesting articles:

I really liked that yet again there was another Hunger Games but why did she have to write nearly 3/4th of the book about how depressing life in district 12 was and then only a few pages about the hunger games it self. When I came to the conclusion of the book I was confused at first. I thought wth did just happen? and then I re-read the last part and felt disappointment. This book would have been so much better if she had changed the format, not write so much about district 12. after 50 pages you get the point. Instead she should have spend more pages on the hunger games, expand it more.

One of the best true crime books I’ve read in a while and I think it is the best of Corey Mitchell. Loved the way he build up the suspense and not began with the murders. (he told me his next book will have the same concept) I did not know what this book would be about but of course you slowly understand where this is going and it is going far, to hell and back. This is such a sad book.Highly recommend. 4.5 stars

Just finished this book and immediately turned on my computer to do more research about the cult scientology. I found very interesting articles and I think this cult is very dangerous and people have to be educated.

Also watched the famous youtube videos of Tom Cruise. The Oprah tape and the one where he talks like a lunatic on scientology and another one where he attacks Brooke Shields and the interviewer. I love the fact that Andrew Morton did not back down from publishing his book even though he was threatened. Threatening and suing is what the cult is very good at, not only the cult but also the second main man Tom Cruise.

This book was great and really opened my eyes.

Free Katie!!!! lol

Finished it last night Feb. 26.

Overall it was interesting, I liked to learn a bit more about how they lived there but after a while it became repetitive, all the talk about what they did daily, how much they loved each other and how much better they are than people not on the ice. (that was what I felt)

The first half of the book is about how they live there and just a little part is about the cancer.

Did she fall in love with a married man? was I the only one who noticed that? I do know when you live in close quarters you will fall in love quicker. [close]

I added this book to my wish list cause I like survivor stories and this one was recommended to me by amazon plus it had good reviews.

When I started I did not know anything really about this book and that is the best way to start reading so I won’t spoil here but I am going to tell you, if you like survivor stories buy this book. I can just say one word. Wow!!!

Het spijt me maar ik vond het een verschrikkelijk slecht boek.

Vooral de manier hoe het geschreven is, heel kinderachtig aan de ene kant en dan opeens hele groffe woorden er tussen.

Ik vond het ook erg ongeloofwaardig en het leek net een boek wat geschreven was door een tiener of iemand die probeert een boek te schrijven maar daar niet echt in slaagt ;-)

Ik heb toch 3/4e gelezen maar toen werd het nog ongeloofwaardiger dan het al was, toen ze de Belg ontmoette dat ik er mee ben gestopt.
