Commentary During Books Beautiful
A harrowing but ultimately inspiring memoir of how one girl's beautiful face and spirit was destroyed after a vicious acid attackI heard a horrible screaming sound, like an animal being slaughtered . . . then I realised it was me.
When Katie Piper was 24, her life was near perfect. Young and beautiful, she was well on her way to fulfilling her dream of becoming a model. But then she met Daniel Lynch on Facebook and her world quickly turned into a nightmare. After being held captive and brutally raped by her new boyfriend, Katie was subjected to a vicious acid attack. Within seconds, this bright and bubbly girl could feel her looks and the life she loved melting away. This is the moving true story of how one young woman had her mind, body, and spirit cruelly snatched from her and how she inspired millions with her fight to get them back.

Fantastic, heart-breaking, inspiring! I could NOT put it down.I was vaguely familiar with Katie Piper's odyssey but after reading a couple of articles on the internet I bought the book. I pronounce this autobiography as the best of its particular type I have ever read.Miss Piper's story is so fantastic that it reads more like a fictional account than something that really happened to a real person. For someone who absolutely relied on her beautiful appearance to make a living in British media,
Traumatic! This was a very difficult book to read, although very readable. I read it with my eyes blurry with tears and tears running down my cheeks at some points. How any so-called human being could do to any other what was done to Katie is almost unimaginable! But she has come through it and is now stronger, an absolute inspiration, and a truly beautiful person both inside and out. She admits in the book that she still has bad days and I'm not surprised, but I'm sure they will get fewer as
I really enjoyed this book and think it was very brave of Katie share her story and recommend it.
Inspirational!Not usually a fan of this genre of book (as Ive stated in many other reviews here) but, in spite of this, I found this book to be quite a satisfying and very inspirational read.All credit to Piper that she was able to reclaim her life and selfhood after becoming victim to a devastating acid attack all cruelly arranged and set up by her evil mess of a boyfriend who had raped her just hours before.Its when you read books like these that you realise how simply rotten some humans can
absolutely great book to read
This book was beautiful, as is Katie. In this day and age I didn't think much could still shock me but her story truly has; I thought the attack in the hotel room and the days before the acid attack were even more shocking than the acid attack itself. She is inspiring and strong and a role model for any young woman; I really admire her. The world would be a better place if people idolized people like Katie instead of talentless celebs like Jordan etcI hope Katie's attackers never get released
