It's hard enough telling about abuse...

And it simply sickens me that what some call "book filler" is more than likely how this person needs to express the pain, horror and reality of a lost childhood. Child abuse is hard enough to live with without being insulted because of the way you relate your story as an adult. "Creative Writing 101" doesn't apply to real life events. I'm sure the author wanted to tell her story in the most factual way she could. If you want creative writing or a book to entertain you, I suggest a fantasy genre instead of a book about child abuse because there shouldn't ever be a feeling of pleasure or joy reading about how adults victimize children.
