A monster in her house

Never did Elizabeth know that the monster will take one horrible step further in jeopardizing her whole family. It was to ‘abduct’ her from her own house and sealed her existence for so many years. Allan Hall really captivates readers around the world with her book called Monster. A real life story of Josef Fritzl and his gruesome vision of so-called a perfect life. Hall captured all the details of the whole experience especially what happened in the ‘new home’ that Fritzl built and what happened inside Fritzl’s sick mind.

Josef Fritzl is married to Rosemarie Fritzl and has 7 children. One of them is Elizabeth who caught her father’s attention more than her other siblings. He was a control freak around the house especially to Rosemarie and Elizabeth. Being a good mother, a loyal wife and a person who doesn’t have anyone to count on to continue living except Fritzl, Rosemarie is very afraid of him, everyday.

Fritzl also has a high sexual desire and is very fond of his own daughter, Elizabeth. It’s sick! Elizabeth vowed to get out of the house when she is legally to do so i.e. only at the age of 18. Taadaa..today Elizabeth is 18 and she is going to do what she had planned for so long. But a dream crushed today when she is kidnapped by her own father and locked away in a ‘new home’ under their house for 24 long years. Now, instead of living her life the way she had planned, she is now living Fritzl’s life in the most shocking way.

It only took me 2 days to finish the book, if not because of the 8-5 work, I would have finished it in a day. Apa kan daya… After the book, I youtubed and googled about Rosemarie and Elizabeth and the other siblings but there are not much info about them on the net. I think it’s to give time to them to recover. Of course, since Elizabeth and her children fathered by Fritzl, are so under nourished, teeth and hair falling, light sensitive and what not.

If you’re into this kind of book, do grab Monster, it would be a great eye and mind opener.

ya they got it all in a book now.. that old brat is very sickening.. but among all criticizers, ada juga golongan yg ckp 'there is beauty in every God's creation'... i cannot see that in Fritzl, as always only God knows..i hope He knows Jesus.

A true story of courage
