I finally finished reading this long and lengthy book which I found to be repetitive. Why keep going back and forth to an abusive life style feeling that it will give you some closure. Yes, it gave you closure but it took long to figure out. I think what got to me the most was that fact that ones believe was used in reference to religion and that religion accounting for their abusive intentions. I did my best to continue reading this intense novel from the beginning to the end but I as gritting me teeth the whole way thru..
