I had to read this book for a college sociology class and I had zero expectations in enjoying the book given the content of it. It's true that it's difficult to read at times, but the writing pulled me in and I had to know what was going to happen to the group of people responsible.
What's no surprise to me, even after reading this years ago, is that this behavior is still relevant today. There are people willing to overlook their child's behavior and they'll do whatever it takes to protect them. In this case, it was an entire community.
They did make this into a lifetime movie which can be seen on YouTube, but the book is way better. The book also contains real pictures of the people involved. I would recommend not even reading the blurb on this one. Just jump in and read it...
