Maybe 3.5 stars

This is just a depressing book. It feels like he's writing down everything in a journal of past repressed memories. Everything he's writing about he's complaining for one thing or another. Even the good times, he finds something to complain about.
In the second part is him coming to terms with what he goes through and the start of seeking help, which I applaud him for. Unfortunately it's only a small section. Overall, the book was just too depressing but it does give us a glimpse of what he's gone through.

Very interesting studies.

Cute book, showing how to share and count.

Only halfway in the book but oh my, this is excruciatingly painful to read at times but can't stop reading it. Not sure if I can get my thoughts in order on this one. On the one hand, the book's topic is important. What Vanessa goes through what she believes to be her truth and not willing to reconcile to what everyone else is seeing is hard to read about. Yet, I know that it is something that happens to people with these traumatic experiences.

At the end of the book now, the part that got me the most is, “I just really need it to be a love story... because if it isn't a love story, what is it? It's my life, my whole life.” I feel like it's the moment she realized what truly happened and from then on she can move forward, I don't want to trivialize it, but I guess fixing that part of her life and be better. It certainly gives us a glimpse of what someone can go through and still decide not to press charges.

Great book. Very anecdotal which helped a lot. Loved all the examples. Gave me much to introspect.

Good book. Interesting magic system, wanting to look more into it.

Great insights to what she had to go through.

It's been a while since I read the book, so did not remember what was in the books besides what I saw in the movies but those I haven't seen in a while either. Anyways, this was a great book. It did get a little boring at times when Tolkien gave a lot of description.

Got caught up in the story and don't want to put it down.

Edit: Cute book. Left you wanting to read more.

Loved everything about it. Very heartwarming can’t wait to read the rest.

Wow. The stories were engrossing and just kept you wanting to know more with some helpful insights along the way.

Took a while because I only read a chapter a month. Very interesting and definitely shows some things that I can work on to have better habits on it.

Short, inspirational to kick start your decluttering. Made some good points as to why get rid of your stuff and had some good resources to sell your things.

Wow!

Wow. Was not what I was expecting at all. Very good book, loved every minute of it. Definitely 5 stars.

Re-read. Great start to the series, a few inconsistencies here and there but overall great.

Great book. Leah's character and the way she reads it makes this an entertaining read. Quite informative with scientology being so private.

Interesting read even though it was mostly about the trials and the transcripts I was still enthralled by it. Was not expecting the pictures. Specially one, will let you guess which one.

Took a while to finish. World building was great but a bit sluggish at times as I read through it.

Second read through, still good. Have a better understanding of some of the things Odd has gone through now that I’ve previously read the books.

I remember watching the show when I was younger. Decided to give it a try but was not expecting this. Granted, I don't read much comics, but this was just not for me.

Pretty intense with the feels. Reminds me of Crime and Punishment.
