I received this book in exchange for a review.  At first I found the writing very amateurish and  I nearly gave up reading it.  Now after reading the book I think that was probably the case and I feel that to get a wider audience it would benefit from either a good edit, or a re-write.  The style gradually improves and towards the end the writing becomes more flowery and descriptive.  The whole quality of the story warrants this review in my opinion.As the story progressed I gradually got hooked into Todd's story and towards the end I couldn't put it down. In the middle the book wallows in his abuse and the bad things happening to him and I got a bit bogged down.What a sad tale this is, and what an amazing recovery from abuse and control.  What I find really sad is that Todd learns the Christian message for himself and the organisation he leaves doesn't have a clue about that message in reality.I would have liked to have known some more names.  Towards the end I noticed particularly thats its this friend, my sister, my brothers.  Even if we were told that these names had been changed. For me it would have given a better connection with the other characters.
