|comment= I thoroughly enjoyed the review of the above book and will be stepping out to Waterstone's to buy a copy tomorrow. I enjoy most of the reviews on this site as the books chosen are among the best on the market and I am never disappointed when the review leads me to buy a copy.
It is, however, a little unkind to mention other books that have been written by people with bad childhood's as 'poor me' books. Yes, there are alot out at the moment but only because it has been such a closed subject for years but in the great scheme of things there are only a few when compared to the number of years they were absent from the bookshelf. Child abuse is a dreadful thing to suffer from, trust me on this and there is no 'poor me' about it. The writers of these books have not thrust it on the reader, you can chose to buy or not to buy, simple as. What is outrageous is that these human beings have had to experience it in the first place.
