Product Description
Product Description
On 28 August 1984, Josef Fritzl drugged his teenage daughter with ether and imprisoned her in an underground bunker behind eight locked doors. Over the following twenty-four years, he raped and abused her, never letting her or the children she bore him out of the dark, windowless cellar.
Based on 150 new interviews with psychologists, neighbours, colleagues and friends who knew Fritzl, as well as the insight of his own chilling confession, Allan Hall reconstructs the monstrous personality behind this hideous crime. He exposes Josef Fritzl's dark past in Nazi Austria, his previous conviction as a rapist, the appalling conditions in which Elisabeth and her children were kept and her astonishingly brave conduct while held prisoner. Including exclusive photographs and previously unseen evidence, this is a truly heart-stopping record of one of the most elaborate and disturbing cases of abuse in modern times.

Format:Paperback
I enjoy reading books like this, and I have read quite a few. Allan Hall seems to have written a book based on rumours and interviews with people who knew Elisabeth as a 17 year old girl. His perspective also seems based on mediareports and unofficial states from policemen knowing the case. All together, this made the book way to commercial in my regards, and I found myself skimming through some of the pages. I hope Elisabeth Fritzl one day will find the courage to write her side of the story, like Natascha Kampusch did, because this book did not meet my expectations at all.

This was interesting, but did not contain as much as I had hoped. Goes over the same thing several times...

What complete monster who has destroyed innocent lives. i dont know how elizabeth survived all those years, when i think about it she was in there for longer than my life so far, totally shocking. the book uses well structured information from people who knew the Fritzl family, so the information used i feel is as accurate as we can get. It was nice to read the the last few chapters especially about the little boy who is fascinated by the moon and rain. we take these things for granted, just make you think!

Some questions will forever remain unanswered.
I bought and read this book. I`m unsure as to where I stand on it. I felt drawn to buy it, to try to fathom how this man ended up being so cruel and how no one seemed to notice, or... Read more

As said in a previous review this one is definitely not for the faint hearted. It's difficult not to wonder why Fritzl's family and neighbours did not see what was happening, 24... Read more
