This was hard to put down. FYI, a bit graphic, but only when necessary for the story.

I wonder how this boy is today, I hope he is a successful adult, deserves so much more!

I gave this book 5 full stars. The story is very facinating! From what I have heard it is very rare to find men with multiple personality disorder. There is some very good information in this book as well for those who want to know more about the disorder.

This book is very interesting, I read it on 3 nights during a trip and even when i was very tired i couldnt stop reading. I cant believe that out there is people as bad as the mom and uncle of this boy. It is very sad and I hope that alex is doing better and having a better life. Also my admiration goes to carole for being such a wonderful mom.
