The concept behind the book is impressive, sad about the negative side. However, a lot can still be learnt from it. Thanks for the review.

We do not push people to accept our help; they choose whether to listen on not. Even committing a crime, being a slave, its all about choices people make. Nice review.
I agree. Our choices are the biggest contributor to the life we live.

The author's approach to reforming the prisoners' lives sounded novel to me but her biased opinions will deter me from picking up this book. Thanks for the unbiased review.

I thought this book sounded intriguing since I have the experience of having volunteered in a women's prison for years. Your review is thorough and interesting, though the book is probably not for me.

I admire you for ministering to those in prison.

Well-written book except for the prejudices that seem to be exaggerated. Thanks for the enthralling review. It seems the author had important points to pass but the method chosen was not good enough considering some of the statements in the book.

I think the author's prejudice skewed her writing. Thanks for the balanced review!

First and fore most the review was great since it highlighted a great deal of flaws related to the story line of this narrative. But due to that fact, i don't see myself sparing time to read this book since it clashes with the ideologies that i hold dear.
