I think that Dog has gained a lot of criticism and bashing for writing this book but the fact he isn't a professional writer can easily be over looked. It isn't a fiction crime novel or some thriller that grips you to the edge of your toes. Its a Biography. Dogs Biography. His life wasn't one that stemmed from sweet smelling flowers, it came from gritty heart breaking real life experiences. Duane and Beth Chapman have both had very rough lives but they don't use that as an excuse or use it for sympathy. They took their lives and decided to make something of themselves in hopes of helping others turn their lives around as well. They aren't ashamed to support God or go into detail how God turned their lives around and they aren't ashamed to tell someone that is struggling in no matter what aspect the brutal truth. I can respect that kind of honesty because I'd rather have someone tell me the truth than to kiss my butt just to make a lie sound better. This is how Dog has written his book. Don't like it? That's fine. But he told his story the way he knew how and they have had quite the ride.
