The story of the Fritzl family is one of the most horrifying I've ever read. Josef Fritzl locked his teen aged daughter in his cellar and had an incestual relationship with her and fathered 7 children with her. He kept her and her children there for 24 years. It's incredible what this family endured.

The book is fairly well written, although redundant at times and I began to lose interest towards the end for that reason. Otherwise it's a fascinating true horror story.
