Summary
In The Lost Girls, John Glatt tells the truly amazing story of Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus, and Michelle Knight-who were kidnapped, imprisoned, and repeatedly raped and beaten in a Cleveland house for over a decade by Ariel Castro-and their amazing escape in May 2013, which made headlines all over the world.

This book has an exclusive interview with Castro's secret girlfriend, who spent many romantic nights in his house of horror without realizing that he had bound and chained captives just a few feet away. There are also revealing interviews with several Castro family members, musician friends, and neighbors who witnessed the dramatic rescue.

Not so much about the “lost girls” more so about their captor. I recommend the girls’ individual memoirs.

Good book but the narrator could have been better.

Oh what a horrendous story. I don't know how these girls/women survived but that's just what they did. Best to them for the rest of their lives. The narration was superb. Very clear, succinct and just the right emotions came acrss and made me feel like I was there. Would highly recommend this book, especially to those who are into this sort of story. I would, however, put a graphic conntent warning on that recommendation simply because the story gets very gruesome and upsetting at times.

A terrible event told in a very detailed fashion. Emotionally it is a difficult read. On the downside, the point of view of a traditionally educated American man who wrote this title it is not exactly neutral. He also wasn't aiming for the insights and didn't try to dig deeper than just reciting the facts.

It was such a horrible story but yet interesting. Somehow I dont remember hearing this before in my country. Less about the girls and more about the captor himself. I wish we could get more insight of the girls perspective. Narrator was very monotonous and at times I ended up zoning out.

I never read much about this horrible tragedy when it was in the news. I had little kids at the time and am now catching up on it. This book was excellent in its description of the girls, their plight, and the perpetrator. The narrator was a bit choppy and interesting choice to have a British person tell an American tale, so it felt a little BBC.

Very well done and well written. Very difficult read emotionally. Heartbreaking and just horrifying what these girls went through. Definitely needed to take some breaks in between to clear my head from the horrors and detailed imagery given.

This is a gripping story that leaves one astounded at the extent of human depravity met with human resilience. The story was well constructed and well narrated.

Man. I love this story. Couldn’t stop listening. I only gave it a 4 star because I felt the narrator was a little dry and robotic and the book was a bit repetitive. I heard some of the same info 3 times. Now I want to get the books from the girls themselves.

Enjoyed every bit of this book. I could barely stop playing it. It gave me constant goosebumps though.

Very interesting and so sad that these girls lost 10 years of their lives to this sick pervert. I do agree with others that the book was more about Castro than the girls but still very interesting.

The memoirs of the ladies are better. There is discrepancies in this books information. Still a good read though.
