Not terribly well-written, which took away from the experience. Despite Pelzer's disclaimer that the book was written from a young perspective, I've read other books with young narrators which were much more engaging. Pelzer's torture was unimaginable and nauseating at times, which was also somewhat difficult to endure. However, I am still interested in his story and may read the other books in the trilogy.
