I don't rate non fiction.
I found this quite repetitive and although there appears to be a lot of detail and backstory, there's no references to back up the facts. At times I also felt very uncomfortable with the way this was written. It's almost voyeuristic at times, with the author profiting off this family's horrors in a way that isn't positive or constructive. If you want to hear the Turpin siblings story, I'd recommend the ABC documentary that actually talks to Jordan and has footage from the night she makes the very brave decision to escape and save her brothers and sisters. It's harrowing.
