This was not the greatest book that I've ever read, but it was good. I really liked how it made me think about what happens to people in these situations, after they are "rescued" from their captors. The media tells you how wonderful it is that they are "free", but I never thought about how they cope with the "outside world" afterwards- especially the children who are born in captivity, and don't know about "normal reality". It was very thought provoking for me. Sad, but good. It is written differently, and takes a while to get used to; not easy at first, but worth it, in the end. I'm not usually fond of "though provoking" books; I prefer action and books where I can lose myself from reality, but I think this is worth a read. It's short and easy, once you get used to way Jack talks.
