Customer Reviews

devastating

it's a devastating and true story about how corporations will try anything and everything besides help those they have hurt

A bit repetitive.

A bit repetitive. I wanted to love this book based on the reviews. While I found the subject matter intriguing, the way the book is written is somewhat repetitive and drags on. 400 pages that could’ve been reduced to 200-250 easily.

Amazing

this book was AMAZING!.one of the best books I've read in a long while. I'm not much into books on history but, I was engrossed from the start. This was so heart wrenching and to know it was based on real life events..there are simply no words. I would definitely HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone.

Awesome book!!!

The writing was excellent and the subject was presented in a way that was factual without being dry. It was definitely an attention grabber and aroused my interest and passion
