On recommendation of a friend I read this book. I'm not a memoir reader but am happy I read this one. It reads like a novel that draws you in almost immediately. The horrors, struggles and happiness (if you can call it that) are astounding. How Frank survived is unbelievable and survived to become a functioning member of society. In my own story I can relate to his survival and shedding his troubled childhood. Frank's story shows what can happen if you want to change your life.
