Book Reviews of The Girl Next Door

Book Review: Disturbing and compelling.
Summary: 5 Stars

I ordered "the girl next door" book and DVD at the same time so decided to watch the film first which I thought was brilliant and brought me to tears at some points. The book I read some time later and it was breathtaking.

Although the content is about as disturbing as it can get, I found that I was drawn in and sympathised not only with Meg but with David as well. One can only imagine what he went through being exposed to such evil at such a young age and I was really hoping Meg would live through the ordeal (although she didn't in the film).

At some points I had to close the book and rest, it was so compelling, and I was hesitant in many points to keep reading.

Very well written, Jack Ketchum is obviously a good writer and I look forward to reading more of his books.

For those who say this should be banned, wake up. The atrocities in this book pale in comparision to real life crimes against children.
