"Great book but is BRUTAL. Harsh language but gets a point across "
Gussie schantz
"I feel conflicted about this book, I absolutely hated reading it because it made me feel disgusted and I despised the main character but the reason why I felt this way so strongly is because of how well written the book is. I don’t recommend this book to soft hearted people like me but otherwise go ahead."

"Quite an intense story! I had to stop reading a couple times because of the rawness and harshness of the story but still a very very good book! I think it's important for everyone to read this book as its based on true events and it's part of a very important part of our history. "
