About this audiobook

On March 2nd, 1998, ten-year-old Natascha Kampusch was kidnapped, and found herself locked in a house that would be her home for the next eight years. She was starved, beaten, treated as a slave, and forced to work for her deranged captor. But she never forgot who she was, and she never gave up hope of returning to the world. This is her story.

Ratings and reviews

Overall pretty interesting story. A few parts were a bit boring, but most of the book was able to keep my attention. Author didn't go much into the "adult" part of her relationship with the kidnapper, which was a bit disappointing. I mean being real, that's always the juiciest part of stories like this. If you're going to charge big money for an audiobook, you really should talk about the juiciest parts of the experience.
