Escape was just the beginning.
Held captive for eight years, Lily has grown from a teenager to an adult in a small basement prison. Her daughter, Sky, has been a captive her whole life. But one day their captor leaves the dead bolt unlocked.

Young Adult Storyline & Narration
If you've read Room, you were excited to pick this up. However, it's narrated by a teenager and is completely unrealistic and casual. Written and narrated for teenagers. I find myself waiting for it to be over and skipping over drawn out explanations and anecdotes. Seriously, save yourself the trouble.
Great narrator
I really enjoyed this book as it is about the 'after' of a kidnapping experience. I loved the narrator of Lilly. Listening to the book, you can tell that there are certain phrases and adjectives that the author uses a lot, and that bugged me, but overall I enjoyed :)
Wish I would known this was a Young Adult book.
Would you listen to Baby Doll again? Why?
I wouldn't listen to it again, it is a super teeny bopper book.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
Maybe develop some more adult roles.
What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
The narrator did good, however she had a very young voice. It started to get on my nerves after a while.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
My emotions did not get to the laugh or cry factor, the book was based on events that have happened many times in the last few years. I have listened to this book, by watching the news.
Any additional comments?
Baby Doll was a not a thriller in any way, not a suspense book either. Good deep themed although.
Has some good parts...
I found the middle pretty boring. The beginning and ending were good. I actually found it hard to finish...
Good... But
It was good, but I was expecting it to be more of a thriller, it's not really. For what it WAS, is decent.
