Publisher's summary

On March 2, 1998, 10-year-old Natascha Kampusch was kidnapped and found herself locked in a house that would be her home for the next eight years. She was starved, beaten, treated as a slave, and forced to work for her deranged captor. But she never forgot who she was, and she never gave up hope of returning to the world. This is her story.

I can't stand the narrator!

I'm only partially through this book. And while I want to continue I am having trouble listening to the narrator. Idk if they needed to go with someone whose first language is English or what, but the cadence and the speed is just off, as though she's not overly familiar with English speaking. It's highly irritating, and I'm not super picky

Natascha is an amazing writer. I'm in AWE!!

This book is just amazing. The story is basically terrifying. The kind of terrifying that I just could barely put down. It is narrated wonderfully and I am truly moved.

Excellent memoir on courage and survival

I absolutely loved this book. It is a testament to human strength and that we have the power to suffer the greatest atrocities, yet ultimately still believe in humanity. Natasha's courage throughout her years of captivity is inspirational. A must read!!

VERSION OF TRUE?

The author doesn't provide an open and transparent account which is what the reader expects naturally.
