devastating

Published by rats , 1 year ago
it's a devastating and true story about how corporations will try anything and everything besides help those they have hurt

A bit repetitive.

Published by Lonestarmom , 1 year ago
A bit repetitive. I wanted to love this book based on the reviews. While I found the subject matter intriguing, the way the book is written is somewhat repetitive and drags on. 400 pages that could’ve been reduced to 200-250 easily.

Amazing

Published by Letty F. , 4 years ago
this book was AMAZING!.one of the best books I've read in a long while. I'm not much into books on history but, I was engrossed from the start. This was so heart wrenching and to know it was based on real life events..there are simply no words. I would definitely HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone.

Awesome book!!!
