Summary: A Reader
Review: Does the person who wrote that they usually like bondage but that this was cruel and unnatural know how very immature that was to say? This book was not to excite someone into trying something new in the bedroom. It was to tell the horrible story of a brave woman. Whoever that was should grow up a little before graduating from the Dr. Suess books to real literature.

Summary: Not so great - Let down for true crime
Review: This book is deccent but at times is boring. Almost half of the book is like reading a transcript from the trial. The book lacks detail for being a true crime and is poorly exectuted. The story itself is interesting but may have been better if written by someone other than the prosecutor.

Summary: Truly harrowing even for the most jaded reader and exellentl
Review: This book tells the story of Coleen Stan, the woman who was kidnapped and kept prisoner, most of the time in a coffin size wooden box, by a couple in California. Written by the woman who prosecuted this case the book spares none of the shocking details of the case while still not appearing sensationalistic. It's a riveting and mesmerizing look into the true depths of human evil as well as a testament to the power of the human psyche to survive. One of the best books of its kind I have read!

Summary: Disturbing
Review: Stay on the author's good side. Otherwise all of your good qualities will be disregarded and everything else will be revealed. It amazes me that some psycho could treat someone the way the defendant did, let her go jogging and get a job, and still keep her under his control so she'd return. I would have thought she'd take ANY chance to try to escape. If this wasn't a true story I'd never have thought it was believeable.

Summary: Excellent, excellent, excellent!
Review: I thought this book was a fantastic read. It was incredibly interesting, which made me want to keep on reading, and it was written primarily based on fact, rather than the authors putting their two cents in. Job well done!

Summary: WHITE SEX SLAVE
Review: Cameron Hooker believed that all women secretly desire to be dominated by the strong hand of a man. If a woman should protest, then corrective punishment is in order. After a night chained naked on the rack with her head encased in a "head box", the woman will place herself at the feet of the man the next morning and express "love". To Cameron Hooker, this was proof that he was right ... all women desire to be dominated. This true story will leave you sleepless and unable to get the image of an inocent woman, Colleen Stan, out of your mind. Over seven years of physical and mental torture, equal to anything experienced in the Holocaust, is unbelieveable yet true. This book is not for the weak of heart. Various tortures and lack of any human compassion, reduce Colleen Stan to a virtual sex slave. Sustained by her faith, Colleen fights to stay alive and survive, something that the young woman enslaved before her was unable to do. Buy this book and read it to learn just how evil one man can be.

Summary: Best book I have ever read!
Review: I have read this book over and over, and it still scares me to death that something like this could ever happen. I have suggested it to many friends who want to start reading true crime. This book hooked me into only reading true crime. A true page turner.

Summary: Hated putting it down
Review: This is an incredible story and it is very well written. When we were reading about Coleen's time in the house, we were in that house; when reading about the court proceedings, we were in that courtroom. I hated putting the book down because it drew me in so well, and I was sad to see it end as I had enjoyed it so.
Rating:
Summary: Average
Review: This was a very interesting book, but pretty standard fair for this class of book. The one thing I kept asking myself was why didn't she leave, the explanation of this issue in the book did not convince me. Overall a well written book that is easy to fly through.
