Very interesting read

I enjoyed the book very much. At times I was so repulsed by the behaviors of Jessop's then husband, I was reminded of a train wreck that you just can't keep from gawking at. Ms. Jessop is indeed a plucky woman, and her story deserves a listen.

Great book. Chilling and amazing.

Though it had received great reviews, I took it them with a grain of salt.

Quickly after I began the book, I was captivated.

It's amazing and sad that cults like FLDS can exert such power over people.

Highly recommended.

Mind blowing!

I read this book in a day and a half, and it made me want to puke. It did make me cry many times. I can't believe what an evil man her ex-husband is, and the cruelty of Barbara Jessop. I hope Karma comes around to both of them and they get what they deserve. It is incredible that this is the 21st century and there is a society like this where women are pieces of meat. My neighbor from Germany, who is living here in the US for one year, just read this book- her first book she has read in English, and recommended it to me at the time the Texas raids were going on. I'm glad I finally got around to it. Well worth a read.

Page-turning, Disturbing

Jessop's ESCAPE is a haunting trip into the secret sect of FLDS (Fundamental Latter Day Saints). It tells her story of being a plural wife to a man many many years older than she was...a marriage arranged by her father for the betterment of his career.

This book was recommended to me by a good friend. When reading this I kept having to remind myself that what I was reading was TRUE. That this was NOT a novel because sometimes what was happening to this woman seemed beyond comprehension. However after settling into this story you find that this is stuff that simply couldn't be made up.

I highly suggest anyone read this book. It gives a good history to FLDS as well as a brutally honest look into the life of a couple of families. What you will read, however, will leave you with a knot in your stomach. It is very hard to put down once you are in it because you want to know what is going to happen next. I have suggested this book to several people and everyone of them read just as voraciously as I did.

Great content, okay writing.

The writing is not especially sophisticated, but simple and easy to follow. I hardly ever find myself so captivated by a book I read it from beginning to end without skipping the middle, but this one I did - in a single evening.
