Are there others out there who ( like me ) think Oprah really got it wrong with this endorsement ?

T…more It is difficult to articulate my disgust for this book. This is not a book that I would suggest anyone read, and I believe Oprah got it VERY wrong. This book lacked a solid story line and went completely on shock value of the disgusting rape of children and women. Did we forget about how she went to NY to find her mother? She might have seen her then left? Maggie was such a big part of her life and she left her and we never hear anything until she passes? How did love conquer anything? Every person was brought into the book and immediately dropped out to bring back the horrible acts. Maggie, Ephram, her father, her mother....they all had quick cameos then were quickly forgotten. Main parts of the story line were dropped to focus on more shocking descriptions of rape and murder rather than following the story.(less)
