A Stolen Life: A Memoir Audiobook

" Although what happened to Ms. Dugard is tragic, I found this book to be poorly written. I did finish reading it, but couldn't help but wish greater time and effort had been taken to write her story. "

" Ugh, I couldn't finish. Too hard to read. I kept crying, I can't imagine how she survived. :( "

" I was interested to hear Jaycee's story, but i have to admit it was pretty graphic. What those people did to her was terrible, and it's shocking that they got away with it for 18 years. If you can get past the rough spots in the beginning, it is worth reading on to get a sense of how strong a person Jaycee is. Praying for her and her daughters... "

" Beautiful story of a horrific life. I am so glad she was found and able to deal with the issues that arose from the situation. She is quite a remarkable woman... and anyone that is looking for an inspuring story, a story where a woman is tryingbto find herself in the midst of the hell that she lives in.... this is for you. "

" It was okay it was sad but it was interesting to hear about her life. "

" I read this book because I remember the case and I remember when they found her. It was a difficult book to read as she went through many horrific things and it is difficult to believe that such horrible and evil people like Philip are out there. "

" The book was Great! Yet sad but I'm happy she's A ok now! "

" Very interesting from a clinical perspective looking at thoughts and experiences as well as how she coped and even processes things now. "

" a hard read, pretty emotional. "

" It's hard to say I liked this book since the story is so horrific but it is worth reading- the author wants people to know what happened to her and it is inspiring in terms of her ability to live in gratitude once her nightmare was over. "

" I wouldn't re read it or anything. "

" This book was really graphic but definitely a good read!!! Almost every chapter was a nail biter. "

" I wish I hadn't read it but for some reason I'm glad I did. Maybe I will be less naive and more watchful of my girls "

" I thought it was a very well thought out book. It was sad at parts. "

" Such a sad thing to happen to anyone, but Jaycee puts a positive spin on her life and has learned and grown from her circumstances. This book was worth the read. "

" Sebenernya buku ini sedih. Kisah nyata tentang seorang anak perempuan yang diculik selama 18 tahun sejak usianya 11 tahun, dan mengalami perlakuan yang tidak pantas. Tapi saya kecewa sama Jaycee Dugard, dia bisa lebih berani. "

" The hardships this Jaycee endured were difficult to read about. Phillip and Nancy were two sick people. I am glad Jaycee was able to escape and is receiving support to help her,her children and extended family . "

" It's surreal to just finish this when 3 women were just rescued after a decade of being held hostage. I've seen Jaycee comment on the situation. I hope I get my reviewing mojo back soon. I have a lot of catching up to do. "

" Incredible book, I couldn't put it down. A must read. "

" It was a book I couldn't put down. She went through so much & lost her whole childhood because of someone else. I liked the book. Reading it and knowing what Jaycee had to endure made me a more aware parent and the whereabouts of my child is at all times. "

" This book is very specific and graphic at times as to what was done to her. But it gave her a way to tell her story and I think that in that way the man that did those awful things to her had to pay by just every one knowing what really happened. He wasn't able to keep it a secret. "

" This was an awesome book that took us on a personal tour of what her life was like behind the closed doors of her secret life. It was an enjoyable book that allowed me to feel her pain along with her. "

" This book was absolutely amazing. Although the writing is very simple nd not all dressed up, Jaycee Dugard did an amazing job on describing her life kept prisoner. You will be in tears reading this. "

" Well written, but saddest story! Cried all way through it! "

" Intense True Story of kidnapping. "

" This had to be one very hard book to write. Even though she didn't have the best education it was an honest heart felt account of her trials with that horrible man. "

" I cant even imagine the horror this child endured and the yearsof trauma she later experienced. What a brave person to write this book. "

" This is probably one of the most difficult books I've read. It's a very emotional memoir. My heart goes out to her and her family. "

" I was amazed how intelligent she wrote considering what she has endured. Basically she had about a 5th grade education. How she survived the horror and the insanity she was exposed to is beyond me. "

" What an amazing story. Incredibly heatwrenching yet fascinating. Highly recommend this book. "

" Truly inspiring and hearbreaking, but could have used an editor's hand. Perhaps in a future edition. "

" Unbelievable what this poor child was forced to endure for so long. Amazing the way her life has come full circle from abduction to present day. "

" Jaycee has a horrifying, fascinating, brutal, heartwarming story to tell. It has some graphic detail and can be hard to read at times, but what she endured, and how she is working her way out of the psychological prison Garrido forced her into is amazing. "

" I hear there are people who disparage Jaycee because she didn't leave. All I can say is, Read her story. And then walk a year in her moccasins. Holy cow. This is a well written story. It's not too horrific or depressing, considering the topic. She's a very level headed woman. Amazing. "

" I'm always fascinated about stories like this. I was excited to read this book, although there were some very graphic parts in the beginning, there weren't any passed the first couple of weeks of her kidnapping. She is a brave woman, reminds me of Elizabeth Smart with her maturity. "

" It's hard to say that this book was good because of the awful events that took place. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and read it very quickly. I would recommend it to anyone! "

" This was such an amazing read. It makes you realize what we take for granted. It is so inspiring to read all the things that ms. Dugard went through yet see how she was able to stay hopeful and remain positive. What an inspiration. I would definitely recommend this book as a read. "

" Wow. I just can't believe that this young girl went through this and raised 2 children. Unbelievable story! "
