This book had consumed me until the very end. That is the 3 star rating. I had to know what was going to happen to this poor girl. Hadnt she suffered enough?! I liked the banter between she and"the man". I appreciated the fact that though this whole story line was tragic, I could also read along enough to see the story for more than just the physical abuse. It wasnt so focused on the constant rape (although there was plenty of that too) that I was distracted by the author's depth. Maybe I have just read too much smut... I could handle the trauma as a reader, I was completely engrossed in the story, and I began to truly feel for the victim.That said...What the heck happened at the end besides the obvious? I mean, I get it, but we spent so much time learning about our victim, that once it was over, I wanted a little more. It seemed like one minute, she was mentally and physically weak, then the next, she had the presence of mind to do what she did at the end. Not to mention find her strength. Her mental state wasnt all an act bc we are there with her in her mind. I guess I just felt it ended too suddenly. It also got a bit too wordy for me...like my review I suppose. Bottom line, definitely worth 3 even 3.5 stars.
