Rendition Concering 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.

A book club choice (the best of a bad bunch), I've been embarrassed to have this on my bedside table in hospital and asked my partner to bring me a "proper" book to restore my literary street cred with the medical team. Beautiful has such a naff cover and font, it's one step down from beach lit... kiosk lit? Airport lit? It looks and reads like a 300 page edition of Grazia or another cheap women's magazine containing some woman's tragic but true story. The good thing about reading this comingI loved the courage this author showed in telling the story of her attack. At first I thought she was a bit of a twit for letting her attacker bully her into telling him where she was ans what she was wearing, but it was fear that caused that and that showed later in the book. Well done Katie, on healing, not just your face but your soul as well and for giving back to others by sharing your story and through your charity.
I think this book for me has touched a part of me, I didn't know I had. I was a bit sceptical at first as I wasn't sure if this book would be too traumatic to read. But it was so honest and beautiful even though it was dark and difficult to read. I found it particularly difficult to read, especially when Katie meets the man that is about to change her world, the only world she knows. But Katie is one of those people who just jumps out at you, she has so much energy and is very forward, she's the
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
absolutely great book to read
An inspirational story of courage and sheer will to live. I was in awe of how Katie got through each day after such an horrific attack.
I found this by chance in Bali in June last year (2012) and read it with an open heart and mind. What this beautiful girl went through was horrific to say the least yet her courage, compassion for others and her acceptance of what happened, and subsequently her struggle and determination to rebuild her life in such a positive way in order to help others like herself was quite frankly one of the most inspirational books that i have ever read. If any book makes you sit up and take a good gard look
