Blown away

Where does Finding Me rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

The best book i have listened to in a very long time. I am in awe of Michelle. She has shown such inner strength. A must read...

What was one of the most memorable moments of Finding Me?

Michelle is so humble and inspiring. Its hard to pick a favorite moment in the book. It did take me through all the emotions with her and her fellow captures. I couldn't put it down and had to finish the book in one read...

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

The title is so apt...wonderful read!

Any additional comments?

So glad i found this book. It gave me a new perspective on life. Thank you to the author for taking the time to write the book and share her story with the rest of us.

Cruelty to another level

I watch the movie then decided to listen to the book I got so hooked I was listening every chance I got and I don't normally do a lot of reading/audiobooks I much rather watch the movie except in this case I felt the book was far better than watching the movie. I can't believe how cruel the man that kidnapped her was, it was quiet horrible all the things he did to her it's truly a miracle she endured it for 11 years and made it out alive, a lot of other victims would have probably given up and take there own life but thank god she had a son to inspire her to stay strong and don't give up on the hope to see him again. I wish her all the best and I do hope she finds nothing short of happiness for the rest of her life. I gave 4 stars for the story because some times she didn't say exactly what he did to her or how he was hurting her I guess it was too hard for her say but apart from that great sad story.

Heartbreaking

I want to wish Michelle Knight all the happiness in the world after surviving the most horrific ordeal. What a brave lady and a real inspiration. God bless her and the other girls who endured unbelievable torture and survived.

Michelle Knight is an inspiration.

If you could sum up Finding Me in three words, what would they be?

Disturbing, Heartbreaking, Inspiring.

What did you like best about this story?

what i liked best was the simplicity of how she told her story. she didn't dramatise anything (it was horrific enough) but she didn't mull over things, she just got the story out. also, when you read things like this, it can put your own life and your own problems into perspective. When she would mention dates and what was happening on those dates, i would think about what i would have been doing on those days and I felt very grateful. I found myself thinking 'HOW did she get through ELEVEN years of torture?' i wouldn't have made its past the first night. This girl is made of something special and i feel to listen to her story is to honour her - and also, to dishonour the man who held her captive. I will definitely be keeping an eye online to see if i can find out how she is doing.

Which character – as performed by Maria Cabezas – was your favourite?

MICHELLE KNIGHT OF COURSE - the hero

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I spent most of my time listening with my mouth hanging open
and sometimes saying No No! out loud to myself when i just KNEW something bad was about to happen to Michelle. I willed her on.

Michelle's resilience stood out most

Powerful book!! Despite the fact that at times I found some bits difficult to listen I couldn't stop because you wanted to find out how Michelle's experiences would work out gives people a insight into how we still have the power of choice regardless of our circumstances Michelle chose to survive amazing story
