Soul Destroying Review ofPlease, Daddy, No: A Boy Betrayed - Stuart Howarthby
kittyfluff
Advantages: You must read the book to decide ! Disadvantages: Graphic portrayal of abuse
I have been reading now for a long time before I go to bed. I find that it relaxes me and really I use it as a claming mechanism and a way to stop thinking about stuff that happened during the day at work! However I say that, many of my books that I read are about abuse, autism and emotionally unstable kids. So a bit of a busman’s holiday really, but to be honest I do like seeing others peoples perspectives on such topics and comparing my ideas to ...

Advantages: A great read Disadvantages: A bit to graphic
I was recently given this book to read by a family member, and to be honest when I asked her what the story was about I was quite dubious as to whether I wanted to read it or not as this is not the type of story I would personally go for myself.
I must say though that once I started reading I could not put it down and had completed it in two days.
This book has twenty chapters, an acknowledements page and an Introduction which goes :
" There ...

Advantages: Real life content makes the book all the more moving Disadvantages: Some of the content is hard to read through and highly emotional
This book was without doubt the most emotionally moving read I've ever experienced. I couldn't put it down and finished it within 3 days. It was tough going in some places but gave me such insight to the suffering that children can go through, and then the suffering that can befall them as adults.
The book takes us through the life of Stuart Howarth, from a small boy of 3 years old right up to adult hood: from his mental and sexual abuse as a child, ...

Advantages: Its a good read Disadvantages: It'll make you cry for him
I have read many of these books to try to understand human nature.
When I started reading this book I found it hard to put down and read it in 2 days, I cried all the way through it, I read a lot of books like this one but found this one to be very disturbing in what evil there is in the world, it is a must read, but beware it is very disturbing
This book however had me sobbing and my heart went out to this young boy, who did nothing wrong. It ...
