" I read this book in my early 20s. I am now nearly fifty. Still on of the most moving novels ever written. The author spared no detail.

" The story of a girl kept captive for seven years. The author jumped back and forth between the trial and the girl's story which was a bit annoying at times. I eventually just skipped the story and read the chapters about the trial, since the other stuff was a bit depressing. "

" 3.5 STARSThis book struck a nice balance. It felt thorough without being overly graphic. It was unsettling and left me thinking deeply about society and human nature, and I'm sure I'll think back on it with dismay for a long time to come, but it won't give me nightmares. "

" I stumbled across this book at the library one day while I was in high school. It's the true story of the "Girl in the Box" case. Some of the details of the story are almost unbelievable. There are some real NUTCASES out there people! It was a good (but disturbing) read. "

" This is nasty "true crime" that shocked the sleepy town in which I work. We are famous for more than being homophobic and racist too. "

" Very disturbing for the age in which I read this book, probably 16. I'm not sure what my boyfriends mother had in mind when she handed it to me to read. "
