For example:
On page 79 he states that after a split between his parents the boys would go back with his father and "My *sisters* would stay with Ma in Haverhill" then on page 80 he states his father had left for some time and it was unspoken between the brothers that he would be visting his mother as settling for 4 of his kids wasn't gonna be good for him.. Time goes by and then "My mother was right behind him with Christopher,the baby, in her arms."
Okay, here's my problem with this. Checking the dates of birth of the kids at the front of the book...If Christopher was the baby carried in his mother's arms, there could not have been sisters (plural) staying with mother. Typo? It could be....
Example 2:
page 129
"He took a bag full of white powder out of his pocket and showed it to me"....."The first time I got high on *cocaine* I felt like I could do anything...."
He goes on then with a few more sentences how he felt in control of it, once a week or so, as a reward....still with the context of cocaine being the drug...but THEN he switches it mid paragraph to heroin and never again is cocaine mentioned just heroin. Another typo? Cocaine typed instead of heroin at the beginning. Well, I'm not a drug addict and am no expert, but if it was a typo, why was it described as a white powder which is clearly cocaine? hummmmm
Example 3:
page 167
Describing the end of his 1st marriage he told how his wife left him with their daughter. Within this separation time, a son was born. He then goes on to tell how he met Sharon. "Even if she was interested, why should she want to get involved with someone who was married, with a *kid*?" HUH... paragraph before it was a daughter and a son. Plural two kids ...not a 'kid' singular
Okay... so I know this guy and his brothers and sisters went through hell... I do NOT dispute that. I didn't see the Sally Jessy Raphael show that did their story, but that at least would be a fact which couldn't be denied as the book states the father nor mother never denied the abuse and of course, there are reports from social services and such to that could be verified. So I dunno I can't get passed the few examples I gave. Books of fact should be pristine, especially books dealing with abuse, IMHO. This one, however, emotionally moving it was for me ...did NOT live up to that standard.… (altro)
