I really wanted to like this book, even before I started reading it. But the first 1/3 of the book was absolutely impossible to get through. It left me shaking I was so sad and upset. It's a hard thing for a book to make me cry and this one did many times. 
 The first 1/3 of the book was Annie's time being held captive and the whole time, while you know she escaped, it's still hard to read. I kept thinking 'one more page and it'll turn around'. 
 And then it became absolutely impossible to read. I found myself questioning how someone could even think of this stuff to write. 
 I put the book down and told myself I just wouldn't finish it . 
 The next morning I started reading it again despite that and found that once the intial terror was over it was actually a very good story. 
 Annie was an easy character to read from her POV. 
 The ending sucked, royally, but not in the poor writing type of way, more in the people really suck and why would anyone do such a thing kind of way.
