Reviews

I find it fascinating the aspect of survival that the family experiencied and the recilience of their human condition, It opened my eyes about extreme politics.
She and her family should never have been imprisoned without a trial or a defence of any sort. Probably unknowingly, she and her writer depict her as an extraordinarily unattractive human being.
I waited with anticipation for the book to arrive and have to say that it was worth the wait. Incredibly written and translated, "Stolen Lives" was a fairy tale one moment and a horror story the next.
When am I going to learn not to read others reviews before I write my own? Bottom line, this book is humbling.
The reality of the story is horrific. But the storytelling was lacking.
Heartbreaking story about a more than privileged family going from complete and utter luxury to complete and utter despair in a desert jail. The way the family was treated and the things they went through for no reason were completely unreal.
I happened across this author being introduced on the set of the Oprah TV show, and was struck by her story. Read this book to get the rest.
I can't believe this actually happened. It makes me so sad to read of stuff like this and feel so helpless to do anything about it.
The writing style is not special in my opinion so I give this book 4 stars, but this fantastic and disturbing story is worth a 5 star rating, so another 4 1/2 stars from me. Really harrowing to read.
This was the story of the Oufkir family, told by the daughter. She was the childhood playmate of the princess and lived in the castle for much of her young life.
