his is quite a controversial book, which sparked conversation (even amongst strangers) wherever I went with it. It would seem that Schapelle Corby is the modern day Lindy Chamberlain, and her guilt/innocence will be discussed long into the future.

I was warned that this book was quite graphic, and very depressing, but I thought that if Schapelle can live it, I can read it. I'm glad I did. It was refreshing to hear her point of view, and not the media version wihch has hindered her situation show more beyond belief.

Believing that Schapelle is innocent, makes this a very difficult book to read, but I encourage you to put aside any pre-conceptions, and hear her story. Remember: being beautiful and belonging to a family with questionable connections, does not make you guilty. Being in the middle of a media frenzy does not make you guilty.

Read it, and then decide.

Even if you believe she's guilty, surely you agree that no Australian deserves to spend 20 years in that filthy hell hole.

Bring her home.

This book is totally engrossing. I read it from cover to cover in a day. It was really refreshing to finally hear Schapelle's side of the story after so many rumours about her circulated. I think the success of this book lies in the fact that Schapelle is completely honest with the reader - she doesn't omit anything. I'd be amazed if anyone still thinks Schapelle's guilty after reading this book.
Well written and inspiring. Whether she is innnocent or guilty, it is a dreadfully long and hard sentence when you compare it to what the murderers etc. get in Bali. She has a positive attitude and an inspiration with how she copes.
