Yes, this book is Great. I couldn't put it down and cried like a baby. I have read all of the reviews and also agree with the few that rated it low. The reason being that I kept waiting for more details on his family. I want to know WHY?? Why him and not the brothers. Why …more didn't his dad help more? What brought this on all of the sudden if life was perfect before? What I would really like to read is "David's mother, The Beginning." What would cause a mother to do this? How about his brothers? What is their view? This story is just so disturbing to me, a mother of three boy's whom I love with all my heart and soul, that I cannot get it out of my mind. So yes, it is a Great Book. (less)
