i dont get to read many books for various reasons,mainly i like to listen to music and cant concentrate on both at the same time, but this piece of non-fiction is both sickening and absorbing at the same time, i read it in two nights about a week ago.
as a rule i generally read, biographies, Stephen King, and true crime/murder books, but this book is the most sickening, depraved piece of work i think i have ever read...even more so than accounts of holocaust survivers.
this book is 10/10
brief synopsis for those who dont know the story:
On 28 August 1984, Josef Fritzl drugged his teenage daughter with ether and imprisoned her in an underground bunker behind eight locked doors. Over the following twenty-four years, he raped and abused her, never letting her or the children she bore him out of the dark, windowless cellar. Based on 150 new interviews with psychologists, neighbours, colleagues and friends who knew Fritzl, as well as the insight of his own chilling confession, Allan Hall reconstructs the monstrous personality behind this hideous crime. He exposes Josef Fritzl's dark past in Nazi Austria, his previous conviction as a rapist, the appalling conditions in which Elisabeth and her children were kept and her astonishingly brave conduct while held prisoner. Including exclusive photographs and previously unseen evidence, this is a truly heart-stopping record of one of the most elaborate and disturbing cases of abuse in modern times.
