At first it seemed this book/memoir was just a whole lot of events strung together in the most chronological way possible. They were, however, very gruesome events that almost caused me to regurgitate on my kindle but, nevertheless, by the end I had caught myself thinking: "Well, that was nice to know." (former quotation said in sarcastic tones). Thankfully though, I had, reluctantly read on after the epilogue and I had realised that the main point of this book was, simply, awareness. That simple objective the author has achieved and I congratulate and applaud his courage for exposing the horrors of his childhood.
