It's so hard to rate this memoir... Jaycee Dugard endured an unspeakable isolation and a level of abuse no one person should ever face. Her elementary-level retelling of these events is rather tough to read. Despite being an insightful young woman, a great deal of her book feels a bit superfluous and fluffy. That being said, I'm not sure I'd actually really want the REAL meaty details of her time in captivity. All in all, I read the book in a day, mostly because of its childlike sentence structure and story-telling. The first third of the book is horrifying...and then it becomes something else...dare I say a bit boring? Yikes... I feel like a terrible person for panning this woman's story. Read it if you are interested in her story and are willing to subject yourself to storytelling from a 5th-grade level educated 30-year old...otherwise, don't bother.
