Book Review of Not Without My Sister: The True Story of Three Girls Violated and Betrayed

Shervivor avatar reviewed on + 97 more book reviews


This book began at a good pace; it was interesting, graphic and at times horrific. Prior to this book I had not heard of the Children of God cult. It was interesting to read about the experiences of three young girls that were raised in this cult of pedophilia. The stories they share are shocking and sad. As the story progresses and the girls grow up the book becomes a bit slow and frustrating. Overall I enjoyed the book, but honestly I mostly enjoyed the sensationalism of the vagrant acts of pedophilia.
