Summary: good:)
Comment: i read this book and it was really good..thrilling and heartbreaking but with the most unbelievably good outcome.. it sickens me for people to think that her parents just did this for the money- first of all, it would be good closure to the family and yes they would get money-money that could help Elizabeth and her family out in the future. so it was good that they did and i really liked this fast-paced book

Summary: Just Wonderful
Comment: The Smarts did not preach too much! They mixed down to earth and non-judgmental disclourse with their own spiritual beliefs, which guided them through an unthinkable ordeal. Shame on those for criticizing them for writing a book. They were adamant that the public support was the reason they made it through this and that the public was the reason they found their daughter. This was a sharing in return and I appreciated it. I hope they gained a great deal of closure by writing the book - and yes, a big fat pay check. Anything good coming out of that horrific time is wonderful. The Smarts disclosed upfront that they intended to communicate their own spiritual rigor, so anyone offended by this part of their lives, which was also a survival tool for them, should not have read the book. After all, it's a book about THEM and it was so enthralling, I read it in a single sitting.

Summary: Okay, but too heavy on the preaching
Comment: I picked up this book because I was interested to learn more details about the disappearcane of Elizabeth Smart. Unfortunately, what I got was information that I already know from the media and a whole lot of preaching by her parents. While I believe her survival was nothing short of a miracle, I was truly tired of hearing about the Smart's faith in God and how God watched over them and Elizabeth during the 9 months that they were apart. Please don't think that I'm knocking religion, because I'm not. I just felt that the Mormon religion was being pushed down my throat, just as if they were knocking at my door to tell me "a story". I actually skipped whole pages in the book because of the preaching.
The book also did not give me any new insights into the facts surrounding the case, which I had hoped for. I realize that certain things and aspects cannot be mentioned because of the upcoming trial. However, the media had already told me everything that was already in here.
Although I'm not sorry that I read the book, I certainly would not read it again. Something to keep in mind before spending your hard earned money.
