Explanation Conducive To Books The Girl Next Door

Suburbia. Shady, tree-lined streets, well-tended lawns and cozy homes. A nice, quiet place to grow up. Unless you are teenage Meg or her crippled sister, Susan. On a dead-end street, in the dark, damp basement of the Chandler house, Meg and Susan are left captive to the savage whims and rages of a distant aunt who is rapidly descending into madness. It is a madness that infects all three of her sons and finally the entire neighborhood. Only one troubled boy stands hesitantly between Meg and Susan and their cruel, torturous deaths. A boy with a very adult decision to make.

Assess Regarding Books The Girl Next Door

I honestly dont know how to rate this book. One star? Five stars? Throw it away? Is it a great book? Is it a pile of shit?There are a few stages of reading it:1. Oh, great, it drew me in from the first page, thats great.2. Interesting character development. So logical. Great introspection.3. Oh, the tension is building even in the smallest scenes.4. Oh, shit is starting to happen. I cant put it down.5. This is so great. It sends a great message. All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is

This is the hardest book for me to rate. I want to rate it a 5 star because it was greatly written. I want to give it 5 stars because I couldn't stop reading. I did have to put it down once, and step away from it. It almost became too much for me. I knew what I was getting my self into before I even downloaded this on my Kindle. It is based on a true story. I read about the story on line and knew how it ended. If you are looking for a happy ever after with this book your not going to get it.

So, I sit here wondering... What is it that makes one devour a book like The Girl Next Door? Because, I have to say, I didn't just read it. I had to work hard to get my eyes off its pages. So, given that it is by no means pleasant but on the contrary disturbing as hell, not because it's scary or gruesome in a splatter-y kind of way, but due to its very subject which is totally real and possible, what sort of perversion was it that kept me hooked on it? Just before I reached the middle was when I

WARNING: For those of you that still have a tattered, fragmentary scrap of optimism for the inherent goodness of people, this book may well rip it from you and shred your faith in mankind. This book is as disturbing as anything I have ever read. This is mostly because the novel slammed all of my soft/weak spots when it comes to violence, including:1. Torture; 2. Sadism;3. Violence against children;4. Violence committed by children; and5. Prolonged mental abuse.and worst of all, this is based on



3.5/5 stars. This is the hardest time I have had reviewing and rating a book. Down the road I'll likely post a video review when I can summarize my thoughts a bit better. At face value, part of me felt like this was simply torture porn that I didn't want to pick up. BUT after reading interview with the author I think the book is deeper than you would guess at face value. It questions what we would do if we were a child in a similar situation and the depths of human depravity. If you're okay with

Maybe the hardest book I ever read. Tough to finish. I wanted something traditional to come rescue me, something heroic, like a vampire or ax murder or even a cannibal. I needed that to take away the pain of the reality. But, no, you won't find that here. You'll find a narrator who is just like you as an adolescent, and who eventually takes part in heinous abuse, facilitated by an adult, and the worst of humans is portrayed in stunning reality. This is what people slip to. People like your
