BREAKING NEWS: Amanda Lindhout’s lead kidnapper, Ali Omar Ader, has been caught. Amanda Lindhout wrote about her fifteen month abduction in Somalia in A House in the Sky. It is the New York Times bestselling memoir of a woman whose curiosity led her to the world’s most remote places and then into captivity: “Exquisitely told…A young woman’s harrowing coming-of-age story and an extraordinary narrative of forgiveness and spiritual triumph” (The New York Times Book Review).As a child, Amanda Lindhout escaped a violent household by paging through issues of National Geographic and imagining herself visiting its exotic locales. At the age of nineteen, working as a cocktail waitress, she began saving her tips so she could travel the globe. Aspiring to understand the world and live a significant life, she backpacked through Latin America, Laos, Bangladesh, and India, and emboldened by each adventure, went on to Sudan, Syria, and Pakistan. In war-ridden Afghanistan and Iraq she carved out a fledgling career as a television reporter. And then, in August 2008, she traveled to Somalia—“the most dangerous place on earth.” On her fourth day, she was abducted by a group of masked men along a dusty road. Held hostage for 460 days, Amanda survives on memory—every lush detail of the world she experienced in her life before captivity—and on strategy, fortitude, and hope. When she is most desperate, she visits a house in the sky, high above the woman kept in chains, in the dark. Vivid and suspenseful, as artfully written as the finest novel, A House in the Sky is “a searingly unsentimental account. Ultimately it is compassion—for her naïve younger self, for her kidnappers—that becomes the key to Lindhout’s survival” (O, The Oprah Magazine).

At this time of writing, The Audiobook A House in the Sky: A Memoir has garnered 9 customer reviews with rating of 5 out of 5 stars. Not a bad score at all as if you round it off, it’s actually a perfect TEN already. From the looks of that rating, we can say the Audiobook is Good TO READ!

I finished this book in a couple of days, mainly because it was so hard to put down. Then I decided to wait several days before writing this review because I wanted to be fair to the author, Amanda Lindhout. I won't spend a lot of time covering the events of the 15 months Lindhout was in captivity since many reviews have done that. While I read the book, I alternated between disgust at what was happening to Lindhout and anger at her for putting herself in that position. I would love to know what credentialed journalists think of her and what she did. She fantasized about being a war reporter, took a flying short course in photography, and then immersed herself in one of the most dangerous parts of the world. For all practical purposes, Lindhout was completely unprepared for what she did. This book reminds me a lot of Cheryl Strayed's book Wild. This story has almost become a genre: people putting themselves in difficult situations with little or no preparation. All of that said, no one deserves what happened to Lindhout, and I admire her ability to mentally overcome the abuse she endured. I also admire what she did after she was rescued building a foundation rather than merely running out to the speaker's circuit to profit from her spupidity. To say this is a great story seems a bit unseemly since it is so brutally violent. This I guarantee: you will be riveted while reading Lindhout's story.
