Ok I read this along time ago while I was still being homescholed. It was one of the first books I read upon geting my new library card and this book hooked me from start to finish. It was an intresting book that left me with a erie sence afterwords after seeing the abuse in it. And through the years It has most definatly stuck with me the most of alot of the books I have read. Im rereading it right now since I just hunted it down in my library.
