"This is a story that Ingrid Betancourt tells of her captivity in the Colombian jungle for 6 years. It was a very moving book and I found I couldn't put it down for long. She not only tells of the horrors of being taken captive and the way the guerrillas treated her, but how it can mentally change you and cause you to display characteristics that you normally wouldn't in the outside world. She wrote her story very well and I didn't seem to notice the 587 pages."

" I absolutely loved the way Ingrid writes. She helped me feel as though I was right there next to her for all those horrific years captive. I only gave it 4/5 stars because although I, myself was held captive while reading this book, I felt as though she could have, or maybe 'should have' divulged some more truths to her relationship(s) with her fellow captives. I felt as though she held back for some unknown reason. "

" What Ingrid Betancourt went through is remarkable. The fact that she lived through captivity and still managed to keep her humanity and her faith is inspiring. A little lengthy but worth a read. "

" Many people seem to be pretty ruthless about this book. I thought it was a beautifully written description of Betancourt's captivity. I felt like I was reading someone's retelling of a dream or, at the worst moments, a nightmare. "
