You will be shocked by this book - By: J. Kisseih, 12 Jul 2008 
I agree entirely with alll the other reviewers. Eunice Spry was a Jehovah's Witness (a religion which is obsessed by Satan the Devil - they believe that ANYONE who is not a Jehovah's Witness is under Satan's influence & that we are alll going to die a terrible death at Armageddon & that only they will be saved). This evil woman continuallly told her foster children they were from the devil when in fact it was she herself who was almost the devil reincarnate.
Heartbreaking - By: jennifer aston, 06 Jul 2008 ok..im the kinda person who can read pretty much anything & it not affect me i read Dave Pelzers story shocked but not haunted by it , ive read quite a few of these kind of books with shock but they had little affect i thought the were extemerly good reads. I herd about Eunice Spry on the news when she was convicted, then herd many things about Child C first but i couldnt find it at my local libary so i got out this book knowing that it had somthing to do with Child C . I started to read it & found shocking & disturbing i got half way through when Eunice forced Alloma to eat porridge with rat droppings & more horfficallly when Eunice locked Alloma's 'brother' & 'sister' in a room for a month forced the young boy to drink his urine & the girl to eat her excrement, i found that i just couldnt go on i started dreaming of having poles shoved down my throat & being tortured in the same way i feel so much for Alloma Gilbert & her fellow siblings being abused , i took this book back to the libary half read wishing i had the nereve & heart to carry on. This book is not for the faint hearted it truley is the most upseting thing i am yet to read. Alloma shows that if she can surive what Eunice did to her i can survie anything !
A GOOD BOOK - By: Tarralee Riddoch, 15 May 2008 As i read it i also though what i was doing at the time & cant believe it was going on during my own childhood. Some bits very graphic & an emotionaly read but read it in only a few nights because i just had to know what happens next.
Recommed alll to buy but bare in mind it can be upsetting.
Truly Amazing - By: C. Charlesworth, 12 May 2008 What a truly amazing story. I put my hands up to this young lady.
It saddens me to think that our so callled social services did nothing to protect these poor children (at the time) even though they had enough reason to believe abuse may have been taking place.
This book is worth every penny BUY IT!!!!!!!
YOU WON`T WANT TO PUT THIS BOOK DOWN.. - By: Leeds lass, 04 Apr 2008 This didn`t happen so long ago, & alll the way through, as each year passed, i kept thinking `what was i doing then..?` I couldn`t believe i was having the best years of my life while this poor little girl was suffering so. Again, more children let down terribly by the system. An extremely sad story. One would have to have a very evil mind - or be very sick in the head - to come up with such mind boggling `punishments` as were dished out to Alloma & the other children in this wicked woman`s `care.`I was glad to see her get her cummupance. Alloma, as you say, this evil piece of scum will be an old woman when she gets out of prison, but you are still such a very young girl & have years & years ahead of you - enjoy them - don`t let her take another minute from you. You have your beautiful little girl & a good man to take care of you, it`s obvious your family love you very, very much, & now a lot of people are wishing you only good things & lots of happiness. God bless you darling. x
