Publisher's 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 audiobook 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.

An amazing story told in an ordinary fashion
If you could sum up The Lost Girls in three words, what would they be?
Repetitive, lacking depth
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
There is way too much reading verbatim from police reports/court testimony and some of the facts are repeated over and over, causing me to tune out and skip ahead. The background story is necessary but is too long and take focus away from the main story
What three words best describe Shaun Grindell’s voice?
Aussie done poorly
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No emotion as there was little of the in depth emotional recounts you would expect from a story like this. It was basically a retelling of facts, and no actually interviews with the victims. Disappointing.

Incredible
An absolutely incredible story. At times frustrating while hearing the monster claim innocence and guilt at the same time. The narrator was easy to listen to. Great read/listen :)

Definitely Read/Listen
A story that is about courage, survival, resilience and 3 incredible women. It is hard to listen to at times, but I wanted to hear their story.

Truth stranger than fiction
It is s sad to think this is not a work of fiction - because it is so terrible to know that it really happened, and so recently. The author does a thorough job of exploring the backgrounds of all the key stakeholders - perpetrator and victims - and seeks to balance transparency with respect when handling the more traumatic aspects of the crimes. The narrator has almost no accent and I found this excellent,

Wow! What a read!
Living in Australia, I was not familiar with these girls who had gone missing. I couldn’t stop listening. So sad and horrifying to hear what these poor girls went through. I’m so glad they were freed and that the perpetrator convicted.

Highly recommend
This must be the most significant and most moving book I have ever read( listened to).
And I have read SO MANY!!!
It moved me emotionally in ways none others have.
I knew of this case but this was so thorough, so well written, so well narrated that I just couldn’t put it down.
But also it left me devastated that these people walk among us.
That someone could do this to our daughters.
Highly recommend

Sad and poignant
A terrible story of captivity and abuse. I would have liked to hear more from the girls themselves but respect they likely don’t wish to do this. A good listen overall.
