This book went from one to one hundred with my emotions. I never had to take a book so slow before just to cry. It is a nonfiction novel about a girl named Sylvia Marie Likens. As a true crime fan, I am shocked I haven't heard this case. It made me want to scream and cry by the time the book ended. I know am thinking about reading the book "The Girl Next Door" Jack Ketchum about this girl. No one should go through the pain poor Sylvia faced!!!
