Jane Elliott The Little Prisoner

I found this novel sooo interesting, it was shocking to have this insight into her life.

Definatley recommend it, to anyone.

I omly read a snippet of jane elliot the little prisoner from a friend and I was instantly wondering what happened to the poor girl!

A must-have for everyone who enjoys a good read.

From even the smallest parts of this books you want to know.

Try to put this book down I dare you!

My friend literally had to say my name like four hundred times before I realised she was talking, let alone talking to me.

All-in-all a great eight paragraphs.

Must see if I can get this book myself! I've been looking for new material anyway.

When you have the chance swing by a local book shop and grab yourself this book and see if you have the same views as I do.

Jane Elliotts The Little Prisoner is a horrific account of the author's suffering from the age of 4 through to age 21. It is rather ploddingly written and the repeated graphic detail of the abuse raised concerns for me about the readership it would attract. Such detail may be necessary in a court of law but I question the need for page after page of the most intimate details of the abuse. It isn't necessary. We only need to know that this child was systematically abused - mentally, emotionally and sexually in the most appalling fashion

Over all The Little Prisoner by Jane Elliott is a great read for those interested in the darkness of humans. That is, if you can stomache the truth of what goes on in some places, and you have no idea. It gives us insight to the horrors of abuse. The descriptions are so graphic it almost makes you ill.

Jane Elliott The Little Prisoner - The graphic and stomach-turningly sad story of a young girl who falls prey of her sick step-father who sexually abuses her for years before she finds the confidence to bring him to justice.

I personally couldnt put this book down, I read quick but two days is shocking for me. I cried several times and spent the rest of the book thinking I am the luckiest person alive to have not been through what this little girl was put through. Generally one of the most sickening subjects I have encountered as would agree most of the normal people would reading this. But...towards the end of the book I began to get angry with the victim. I can't understand the texting and calling to the people that let her down and the family members that betrayed her and took the fathers side. Does anyone else have the same thoughts? Also how was it possible for the father to continue to manipulate her once she had left home? I ended up so angry with the victim that I wished I hadn't read the book!
