Daugher's Prison Catagories: Review by Shannon: The night I found this story, I was really tired. I was actually just looking for something to bookmark and return to later, because I didn't have the energy to read through an entire story. But once I started reading this one, I simply couldn't stop! Every paragraph, literally, kept me wanting more because the author does a fantastic job keeping the reader interested with every sentence.
This story is about a young teenage girl, written in the first person, who loses her mother to cancer and is forced to basically raise her little brother. Her father, meanwhile, becomes an alcoholic loser, putting his family on welfare because he doesn't want to work. As Jane grows up she starts realizing that her father is attracted to her-- he makes it pretty obvious, in fact! However, despite all his inappropriate behavior, there's nothing she can do about it. She's trapped.
One of the greatest strengths of this story is the author's ability to "keep it moving". It's not actually a very long story, as these things go, but it ends up spanning the time from when Jane is 14 until she's 18. However, it never feels rushed. As her father begins to be more and more of a jerk as Jane becomes more and more physically mature, we really do feel bad for Jane and how she's stuck in this situation. The relationship between father and daughter is realistic, as are Jane's feelings about them.
All this isn't to say that the story doesn't have its weaknesses. Like some of my other favorite stories, it's rife with grammatical mistakes-- but don't worry, they're not so bad as to make it difficult to read. I suppose the biggest problem with this story is the lack of more detail in the sex scenes. If anything in the story feels rushed, it's them: one even occurs with the main character passed out (making it difficult to read about seeing as it's written in the first person!). The story is still arousing, don't get me wrong, but it probably could have been more so.
All in all, a great story nonetheless. Daughter's Prison will definitely suck you in, get you hot, get you angry, and then make you want more.
