Story
In 1991, eleven-year-old Jaycee Lee Dugard was kidnapped on her morning walk to the school bus. But despite her family's tireless efforts, Jaycee's disappearance remained a mystery. Then, in August 2009, a registered sex offender named Phillip Garrido appeared on the University of California, Berkeley, campus alongside two young women whose unusual behavior sparked concern among campus officials and law enforcement. That visit would pave the way for a shocking discovery: That Garrido was Jaycee Lee Dugard's kidnapper.

"In the summer of 1991 I was a normal kid. I did normal things. I had friends and a mother who loved me. I was just like you. Until the day my life was stolen. For eighteen years I was a prisoner. I was an object for someone to use and abuse. For eighteen years I was not allowed to speak my own name. I became a mother and was forced to be a sister. For eighteen years I survived an impossible situation. On August 26, 2009, I took my name back. My name is Jaycee Lee Dugard. I dont think of myself as a victim. I survived...."

Throughout the years, three of Elisabeth's children mysteriously appeared on the Fritzls' doorstep; Josef and Rosemarie raised them as their own. But only Josef knew the truth about Elisabeth's disappearance.... For 27 years, Josef had imprisoned and molested Elisabeth in his man-made basement dungeon.

In the fall of 1999, a 22-year-old woman was discovered naked and bleeding on the streets of a small New Mexico town south of Albuquerque. She was chained to a padlocked metal collar. The tale she told authorities - of being beaten, raped, and tortured with electric shock - was unthinkable. Until she led them to 59-year-old David Ray Parker, his 39-year-old fiancee Cindy Hendy, and the lakeside trailer they called their "toy box." What the FBI uncovered was unprecedented in the annals of serial crime.

Excellent overview
I first read Michelle’s book, then Amanda’s & Gina’s and then “The Lost Girls” (this book). I would recommend to read them in this order. This book relates this horrible story from the police, family and Castro’s point of view. The narrator is fantastic, some readers complain of his British accent but it absolutely did not bother me at all. I highly recommend to read this book after the other two, great read/listen!!!!

Enthralling
What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?
The author does a great job of providing the background of Castro and the victims, and of the timeline of the events. It isn't fictionalized, which is good. It's a straightforward account of everything you could ever want to know about this story. It was exactly what I was looking for. I wanted to know what made this guy tick, and it was the same thing that made Josef Fritzl "tick", which is a fear of abandonment. These two have many similarities. They both said, "I'm not a monster" and they had similar relationships with their mothers.
Any additional comments?
I liked the narrator. I was not distracted by the British accent. I could hardly stop listening to this audiobook and glad I found it.

So interesting, and heartwarming when they finally escape
I loved the book overall, however it is almost unavoidable that the story will slow down once they victims are out of harms way, and this is definitely true here. I appreciated the attention to detail but at the same time it got a bit drawn out. If it had been a book instead of an audiobook I might have skimmed the last chapters instead of reading it

Who Is This Narrator?
What would have made The Lost Girls better?
It would have been better with less repetition. We heard of incidents one in the story, then the victim(s) told it again,then......it kept repeating segments. And there was so much filler that was so uninteresting.
If you’ve listened to books by John Glatt before, how does this one compare?
I haven't.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Terribly! He seemed to read each sentence as a statement and not as a flowing piece of work. There was just no variation. The British accent was a little disturbing, for a story taking place in the USA, but that wasn't a real issue for me.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
It was definitely sad.....and there was some anger because, like other such stories, one can see situations where the villain should have been caught...or at least had some pressure put upon him. But for those who missed him, vision like this is always 20-20.
Any additional comments?
For me, I'd definitely listen more closely to the sample and I'd read the written comments on the books much more closely. The performance was questioned by many people.

Any additional comments?
The story speaks for itself in both the empathy and outrage it entices, but the narrator's voice seems a bit out of place. I'm not trying to speak ill of Mr. Grindell, who has a lovely speaking voice, it's just that I think the narrator of any audiobook might be better served in either the tone of the author or main character. The inflection lends a certain kind of authenticity to the story being told, as if we are told the story by the intended voice rather than being read a book by a third party. Just my opinion! Either way, a fantastic journey into the dark place of human deviancy.

I always try to get as much information as possible about a particular case and find that documentaries struggle to fit everything in. John Glatt has written a very informative book on what Ariel put those 3 innocent through and how they survived. The narration made this book very easy to listen as well

Gripping but emotional read
I have so much admiration for what these girls went through. I dont know how they had the will to survive. I especially admired michelle as she was the first taken and was a lone victim in the house for a while and was there the longest. Plus she helped care for the others. Had me hooked all the way through. Good narrator too.

Marvellous author and narrator of the book The lost girls. Mr Glatt was so articulate with a lovely clear and precise speaking voice. It made spellbinding listening. Well done on a harrowing and riveting book regarding this horrible psychotic delusional and evil man. What the girls went through and in particular, Michelle Knight, was gut wrenching to listen to. I am so happy they are free. They will be in my thoughts and prayers forever. Suffice to say any other poor unfortunate people being tortured and held against their will. A must listen to book. More than highly recommended.

Disturbing
A very well written account of what happened to those poor women. I found it difficult to listen to their ordeals and at times I thought I could not continue listening. But I wanted to know that justice would be done.

Powerful
This story is terribly harrowing, these three women have overcome the most horrendous crime inflicted on them. They are all incredibly strong, powerful women who should be recognised as hero’s.

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.

A bit too long and repetitive
Would you try another book written by John Glatt or narrated by Shaun Grindell?
Not written by John Glatt.
What was most disappointing about John Glatt’s story?
The book was really detailed on events that seemed tangential to the main story. It was also repetitive, and overall could've been about 30% shorter.
