Escape (Abridged) Audiobook

" Fascinating! Couldn't put it down "

" I thought I knew some about the FLDS cult before reading this....boy was I wrong! This book opened my eyes. The courage of Carolyn is astounding. This is an important book that give awareness to horrible "religion". I am so glad that I read it. I LOVED it. "

" i loved reading about what happened before and during warren jeffs "

" An insight into an unbelievable way of life ... "

" I really enjoyed this book, and in a way, feel badly about that. Reading what she went through and what other women continue to go through was horrific. I can't even imagine a life like that. "

" Yikes. I read it, but I am not sure I can recommend it. It is a true story of a women that escaped a religious cult (The FLDS). I found it disturbing the way the men were so power hungry and were able to brainwash their followers by saying God told them to. It was scary. "

" The story Carolyn wrote was very nlightening about the role of a multiple wife in Fundamentalist Mormon society. It made me think of how these women are imprisoned by the males in the society. I will remember it forever. "

" How lucky am I after reading this woman's story to be able to live the way I do. "

" Completely crazy to hear about being on the inside of the FLDS. It truly shocked me, even though I knew it was bad. The author was strong and courageous, and I am glad that she told her story. "

" If you ever think you have it rough, read this book. This woman's life-holy crap. "

" Oh, I am thoroughly disturbed. I could not put this book down, I think I'm glad that I read it. I don't know what to say, except that this religion needs to be stopped... "

" Didnt want the book to end. "

" I really enjoyed reading this account of life in an FLDS community. So interesting and truly horrifying at times! The writing, for me, was a little bit tedious. A lot of "telling" and sometimes unnecessary details. But, overall, a truly one-of-a-kind account of a devastating lifestyle! "

" This is by far the best book about life in the FLDS I have read. Looking forward to reading her follow up book, Triumph. "

" After reading "When Men Became Gods", I knew I wanted to follow it up with "Escape". Carolyn Jessop wrote straight from the heart, and it quickly became a book I didn't want to put down. The book was filled with emotion,but was also very informative. "

" Loved it! It is amazing to see what other people have endured. "

" It's hard to realize what one can go through when trying to do what one is taught when growing up. "

" Amazing and engaging. It is incredible to read about what this woman lived through and overcame. I would give this more stars, if I could. "

" I understand how harrowing Carolyn Jessop's experience was, but it is pretty much like any other book written by former FDLS women: lots of abuse and very little hope. At times, I was basically just skimming waiting for more interesting parts. "

" A film book really. Esse livro realmente parece que estamos ''lendo'' um filme! "

" This book was absolutely gripping. It made me very grate for the Christian upbringing I had. "

" By no means literary genius, but I could not put it down. Fascinating story. "

" A very well written book about a an amazing woman. I could feel the pain coming from the pages of the book. I couldn't help but rejoice and want to celebrate the ending. "

" The true story of a women who escaped from the polygamist FLDS church. It's hard to believe a such a backward, misogynistic community/ society can exist in the modern, democratic US. "

" This book was really interesting to read, although it was difficult to read about the abuse she, and others, went through. I feel like I have a better grasp of what the FLDS people believe, and all they went through under Warren Jeffs power. "

" I loved this book. This is my favorite book of the summer about a woman in the FLDS group that escapes and wins the first custody battle of here children from and FLDS father. "

" Credible first person account of a woman's escape from the polygamist cult that Warren Jeffs leads. "

" Another FLDS story. I don't know how she had the strength, but this author got out with 8 children. "

" Fascinating subject material, and an inspiring story, but the writing style wasn't that engaging. "

" i loved reading about what happened before and during warren jeffs "

" Very interesting book about life in the FLDS. At times infuriating and unbelievable, and at other times heart-breaking and poignant, this book is the story of a very strong woman who ultimately makes painful and courageous choices for the well-being of her children. It was hard to put down. "

" Interesting read, had no idea how bad the FDLS treated their women. Was so glad to see author get out of such a horrible situation! "

" Yep - fascinated by the fundamentalist Mormons. "
