I was a little bit disappointed with this book. I'd wanted to read it for so long that possibly it couldn't live up to my expectations. That said, I found a lot of the details absolutely boring and yet, I cared enough about the author to want to finish the book and I did. This way of living was so crazy and abusive, but I don't think many CS people would relate, as they haven't a clue what goes on for those living totally in the CS community. I can't imagine having to be alone as much as these kids were and how these people have gotten away with is neglect and abuse is beyond my comprehension. I honestly do recommend the book, but only if you're prepared to get past a lot of details that would bore the most boring person.
