A Stolen Life - By Jaycee Dugard
To my great surprise my family gave me a Kindle Touch 3G for Christmas. I downloaded a couple of short stories for $2.00 each. Today I downloaded A Stolen Life by Jaycee Dugard. I'm only about 10% of the way into this book which recounts Jaycee's 18 year ordeal of her abduction at the age of 11 by a pedophile sex offender and his wife who are now deservedly serving life sentences in California prisons. So far it's a compelling survival story written by a young woman who is trying to overcome her years of imprisonment.
Side note: It's amazing how many books these e-readers can store. According to the Amazon web site, the Kindle Touch 3G can store 3,000 books. I told my sister that by the time her 4th grader starts high school, I'm predicting that all of her textbooks for school will be on an e-reader. No more lugging around heavy books in a backpack.
