3,096 Days by Natascha Kampusch
I really liked this book. Natascha just inspires you.
![]()
Nothing that happened to Natascha was fair - to say the least. Her childhood, her freedom, her parents, her friends, her chance of a normal life, basically everything was stolen from her one day as she was walking to school.
What i didn't like:
There is at the end of each chapter a diagram-thing that you photograph by your phone and it decodes it, (after you have sms'ed Austria and they send you the application to save on your phone) Once you decode it, you go on a special website to see pics and videos about Natascha...but it's so not worth the effort. The pics of the room where Natascha was held, you can find them online. There are videos in German (i think) about:
- the reenactment of Natasha's escape, (they just show the ground as she runs away)
- about her mom and dad's statements to the press (all in german-i think - with no sub-titles)
- and other things i did not understand because again they were in German (i think).
Official Book Description:
The incredible of eight years of above and humiliation.. and the fighting spirit that allowed her to escape unbroken.
On 2 March 1998 ten-year-old Natascha Kampusch was snatched off the street by a stranger and bundled into a white van. Hours later she found herself in a dark cellar, wrapped in a blanket. When she emerged eight years later, her childhood had gone.
In 3,096 Days Natascha tells her incredible story for the first time: her difficult childhood, what exactly happened on the day of her abduction, her imprisonment in a five-square-metre dungeon, and the mental and physical abuse she suffered from her abductor, Wolfgang Priklopil.
3,096 Days is ultimately a story about the triumph of the human spirit. It describes how, in a situation of almost unbearable hopelessness, she slowly learned how to manipulate her captor. And how, against inconceivable odds, she managed to escape unbroken.
My Rating: 4/5 Stars
Though it's a good interesting, there are places in the book where the "matter-of-fact" tone will bore you. You don't HAVE to have it in your library, you can get it as an e-book.
The Edition I own:

Nothing that happened to Natascha was fair - to say the least. Her childhood, her freedom, her parents, her friends, her chance of a normal life, basically everything was stolen from her one day as she was walking to school. Still the girl from early on adapts an attitude that would save her, and the would keep her strong, mentally unbroken.
In 3096 days. Natascha tells her lifestory in a"matter-of-fact" tone. You never feel that the story she's telling is embellished and yet there are great philosophies steted modestly here and there. You will want to learn from this little girl as she forgives her captor while she is still kidnapped, while she is still wronged, and She explains that is why she doesn't break.
