Helpful Score: 2
When I started reading this, I kept thinking... interesting that a man could write about the rape of a woman this way. Either this man has some interest in bondage of women or really did some research in order to present these events from a woman's point of view. THEN I finished the book and found out CHEVY is a woman. I was thinking like Chevy Chase.
This book is written in the format of our victim telling her story to her newest shrink. By doing it this way, and Annie telling her shrink some ground rules of how these session will go, it makes the format work. For one thing the female shrink can not ask questions or ask Annie how she feels. Once in a while Annie will comment on the shrinks appearance in a positive way, just to remind us that these stories are part of a counseling session. Each chapter in fact is called Session not chapter.
The story that unfold is sad, but not violently, graphic, although the crimes committed against Annie were heinous and violent, and unpredictable. Annie is obviously suffering form PTSD, and is trying to get better. After her release, things begin to unfold, that make you wonder how much it Annie's PSTD, and how much is based on reality. I liked the twists towards the end, it kept me guessing. The very last page was the best way to end the story.
So yes, grab this book and put it on the top of your to be read pile. Dont put it off, like me.
