It's like the author had a stack of notes that were randomly documented on a rough timeline. It was as if he just listed individual accounts for the shock value instead of trying to craft some kind of cohesive storyline. As difficult as these accounts are to read they are no more palatable because of how poorly this is written. The author may have just began each new topic with "Then this happened...."

Not since MOMMY DEAREST have I read such an account of mistreatment by one person. The fact that her sadistic behavior was directed at multiple individuals is deplorable. First of all, how can do many people WILLINGLY be victimised? I can rationalise how children that don't know better might tolerate it but adults!?
