Review: Tear-jerking account full of religion

The amazing story of escape brought tears to my eyes. But...I only read perhaps 30% of this book. I wanted to read the story of her survival, the story of her escape, what she went through, what she saw. That was only about 30% of the book. The rest was religion.  Scriptures were liberally sprinkled throughout the book. (between every chapter and randomly plunked in the middle of a paragraph) Thoughts like "holy spirit breathed for me" grated on my nerves.Yes, read this if Christianity in your reading material doesn't bother you. It is an amazing account, and what she describes within the tower is nothing but breathtaking. You can see what she saw, you can almost feel the heat of fire and you can almost smell the smoke and flesh. She is a good writer.If religion does bother you (or an excess of it, as this book has) either try to skip it (not TOO hard) or just avoid this book entirely.
