"this was a great book it really was a tear jerker. i read these short stories and thought of the real people in the world that are really struggling wity these problems in there day to day lives. i feel the stories are very beliveable and should be shared with every person that are having abuse problems in there relationship. that includes the abuser and the one being abuse. i give this book an A+. its a new look for zane"
"This book is titled Breaking The Cycle by Zane. The book is etchnic fiction. The main theme of the story is if your being abused get the courage to leave and stand up for your self.
this book is about many series of short stories of people who are mentally,physically, and emotionally abused. From men to woamn, to little children to older adults. It tells of how some people get the courage they hadn't found in years while some just chose to stay and never get to break the cycle of abuse. The book undergoes the cycles of abuse which starts with Arguemnts, Put-downs, hitting, apologies and the abusee ending up staying with the abuser untill its to late...
The book was a very Eye-cathcing, and Jaw-droping experience. Some parts told of things that i never thought would happen in an abusive relationship such as a man getting abused by a woman. I would have never expected that in all the years that i have lived. The book told of many discriptive details that made me feel the pain and agony for all characters. There was one character that i had it out for since the beggining of the book, her name was Candence. She was my favorite character because she was only a teenager, like me, in a abusive triangle with her mom and stepfather,but yet she was the back bone for her mother even after she left her child in the dark the past couple of years.. The scene that was most vivid to me was when Candance and her mother got the courage to leave, Then the mother leaves the child to go back to her man. I was very confused as to why the mother liked to be abused. This had me almost in tears. The author left full pages of abusive hot lines for each state. That waqs a good idea, the main reason for that was to give readers who are in this situation some hope and courage.. In a way reading thsi book has taken atoll on me. I always said to myself that will never be me but who am i kiding it cant, Even from someone i love dearly.
I would recomend this book to teenagers(boys&girls), and adults, and friends of adults who are abused and mature readers. However i would not recommend this book for a read out-loud to little kids because some details are just to explisit for kids to understand. I have never read a book like this so maybe that's why I like it so much."
