The Escape Book: Can you escape this book?: 1 (Escape Book Series)

Product Information

Wow! This author did it again! I loved her book Triumph so I had to read Escape. Both were amazing and super eye opening!!! She is the cousin, by marriage, of Flora Jessop, another former FLDS member and advocate for abused children. Met een thuissituatie waarin de spanning tussen zijn ouders een hoogtepunt bereikt, knijpt Cody er tussen uit om samen met de andere gelukkigen deel te nemen aan het ‘Escape‘ avontuur. Dit keer een iets minder horrorachtig verhaal, maar een verhaal met actie waarin tieners hun eigen leven, maar ook dat van anderen, moeten zien te redden in een omgeving die bedreigender lijkt dan ze van tevoren hadden kunnen bedenken. De boeken van Horrorland doen mij steeds denken aan de Kippenvel serie van vroeger en dat was ook weer met dit deel. Ik denk dan ook dat de jeugdige lezer dit verhaal zeker weer kan waarderen. Het lijkt namelijk alsof je je écht in het gevaarlijke pretpark begeeft.

Escape by Carolyn Jessop | Goodreads

How long did it take you to figure out who Uncle Roy was? I had a guess, but I finally gave up after the first quarter of the book and looked it up on the Internet! The Internet! I had the book right there! No one had bothered to tell me who a main character was. It finally was explained about the middle of the book. Whatever! Carolyn's story is simply amazing. The only thing that could make it better is some tighter editing. For example, at least the fact that the FLDS has a major presence in the local police force (thus making it hard to escape), is mentioned several times. Have a little faith that a reader can read it once and retain it. I could barely put Caroly Jessop's harrowing story of her life within and escape from the FLDS church and community down and I can't stop thinking about it now.Het verhaal las erg vlot. De schrijfstijl was beeldend en de hoofdstukken kort. Het was alsof ik ook in Escape was en ik kan je vertellen: dit is géén attractiepark waar ik zelf heen zou willen gaan. Het voelde voor mij nét iets te echt. Wat in feite heel positief is, want dat betekent dat ik écht door het verhaal meegenomen werd. You hear about these things,but wonder to yourself if it's really true,and then put it out of your mind. After reading this book I not only belive these things are truly happening,but while reading it,I wanted to jump up and try to get all of those women out of that religion!! LOL Of course,I'm just an itty bitty woman that lives in an itty bitty town in Wisconsin,so not much I can do for these women.I just thank God that America's Most Wanted was able to "capture" the guy that became the Leader of this so called religion. A religion that belives that the Men are the rulers,Women are to be nothing more than slaves,and do as they are told,and the wife can be of any age,,starting at age 12,the younger the better,in fact. She's 12 yrs old? That's great! The thought is the younger they are the more gullible and naive they will be? And will do anything?? And of course,not question it. The important issue of sex in these marriages is not something I think God had in mind. To procreate,yes,but to use it against another "wife" in a polygamist marriage is/was disgusting to me. I know these woman,and men,as well,are brought up in this religion and know no better,but really after a time one would think that more of them would realize what kind of horse---- are they living in/with? I'm so glad that the author of this book,finally started get some sense into your noggin',and got the good sense to GET OUT! Although,the act of just getting herself out was one thing,but getting her 8 children out as well,and with one that was ill to boot,was an act of God in and of itself. I just hope her older daughter...will one day see the light as her Mother did. A very good read. Here's the link at America's Most Wanted regarding "Warren Steed Jeffs"-the Leader,who may not have started all this,but became more bold than all the other leaders and that is what became the undoing of him and hopefuly most of the "cult" that he tried so hard to control.

As an adult I lived in St. George for three years between 2003 and 2006. I saw polygamists at Wal-Mart every time I went there. I was disturbed by my own reaction to them. Having lived all over the U.S. I was aware of how limited the perspective of people who stayed in one place their whole lives can be. Yet I still looked at them as "lesser" individuals. Because I was so disturbed by my own inner hateful response to this people, I decided to learn more about them. I met a woman who had written a book and was actively helping girls escape. She was selling her books at a booth at the county fair. She was putting her life on the line by speaking out and I was impressed.In a world, where men (several of them) are making ALL the decisions, a woman is a tool that is made to serve, a doll that needs to do anything they tell her. She will marry or leave her husband if she is told. (e.g. She also had to agree to be reassigned in marriage by the prophet to another man). She will cook or do laundry (or will be prevented from this), she will have intercourse. She cannot even go to the ER in an emergency case without permission.
