After reading Carolyn Jessop's first book, Escape, I couldn't wait to get my hands on the second. Instead of putting it on my wish list, I went out and bought it instead. I picked it up many times but eventually it just ended up sitting on my shelf for two months. After trying to read it multiple times, I never progressed past page 50. Escape was so enthralling to read and it was an in depth account of her stories and struggles. In Triumph, I felt like it was just a book of her opinions of the raid in 2008. I felt like it was more about how she felt things were done wrong at that time and she decided to put it in a book. I just couldn't get into the book as much as I wanted to.
