This book was really hard to get through after reading the one Amanda Berry wrote which was excellent. If I had to see "the dude" one more time I was going to lose my mind! I had several questions about the lack of relationship between the 3 girls in the Cleveland Kidnappings and this kind of answered them. I thin Michelle was odd and never very socially aware even before the kidnapping. But geeze, her referring to Ariel Castro as "the DUDE" drove me insane. Enough I do not intend to read the follow up book.
