This review is from: A Life Gone Awry: My Story of the Elan School (Kindle Edition)
The author seems to have an interesting and important story to tell. Prior to reading this, I was not aware of the Elan School, the horrible things that allegedly occurred there, or the abuses that apparently occur at other similar programs. These are undoubtedly things we should seek to understand and prevent from reoccurring.

But here's the problem: The writing just isn't very good. This book really illustrates how digital self-publishing is a double-edged sword. It gives us access to stories that might otherwise be ignored by the big publishing houses, but it forces us to muddle through writing that needs editing and, in this case, could probably have benefited from a co-author. This book was a bit hard to follow in some spots (I'm only about 90% clear about what was involved in a "shot down", and it took most of the book to get there). It also includes a couple of sub-plot lines that aren't fully explored (I'm sure it was traumatic, but it would really help to know what happened in that basement). The epilogue almost reads like stream-of-consciousness -- it raised more questions than it answered for me.

Unfortunately, I think the author's credibility is undermined by the weak writing and the fact that he is apparently self-published. The accusations in the book are pretty harsh. It feels like a rant sometimes, and a rant without corroborative support from an editor who insists on fact-checking isn't entirely credible. To be clear, I'm not taking a position about the truth or falseness of the book. I'm just saying it's difficult to know one way or the other with confidence.

Bottom line: It's an interesting story, but a mediocre read. A moderately fast reader should be able to bang it out in one night, maybe two. It's priced right at $2.99.

Well hell when Albert Beauchane is feeding you the story and his story ends 11/78 and you have told everyone you were there till 1980, you got a freaking problem Wayne. Your memoir could not have been more detailed, you didn't fucking have the details. You plagiarized story after story so you could grab folks attention and paid little attention to corroboration. The bozo's here who are supporting you are doing it out of a sense of duty or because it is me. Wayne if I had not pissed the people off I had, you don't have a book. I have always known this and would not want to change a thing.
The gentleman who critic your crap said pretty much what every professional has said that I have talked with. The corroboration was needed and this is something you will never have. The onus is on you to prove the shit you wrote, dumbass.

This review is from: A Life Gone Awry: My Story of the Elan School (Paperback)
 Years ago in Guyana, when I was eleven years, my family and I lived in Onderneeming Compound on the Essequibo Coast. Onderneeming was known for the "Boys' School". A reform school for delinquent boys run by the Guyanese government. We're told by our parents to never, EVER talk to the boys who were allowed outside. They had a watchdog system off record to make sure the boys did not come in close contact with the officers' children. But we were invited to their Christmas shows and movie nights. Some of the boys were allowed to do yard work in our compound. Every Saturday afternoon we would take over my mom's breads, cakes and rolls for the boys to put into their humongous oven. Never once did we talk to them. That was the extent of my experience with "bad boys".

Wayne Kernochan's book A Life Gone Awry: My Story of the Elan School has certainly opened my eyes to a life alien to me. Never in my wildest dreams and I've had many, would I ever come across a tumultuous life as young Wayne has endured. In reading this book, I paused more than once appalled at the atrocities and mind boggling treatment these young lives suffered.

Wayne has once again laid bare his deepest fears, monsters, trials, shame and he does it with the most honest voice. He faces his own soul searching and orientation during his stay in Elan. His description of the events that happened in the basement of the house in Brooklyn and the events leading up to his eventual stay in Elan is tastefully done and leaves the reader to his imagination as this book is about Elan and not about Wayne himself.

The dedication of this book to all the victims of such schools is heart wrenching and brings tears to the eyes as these victims were once someone's child.

Read it and spread the word about Elan School.

 Finally got a chance to read this book. It's well written and sooo familiar. My family was involved in a very similar cult called The Seed back in the `70's. Most of the rules had to do with constraints on communication. No talking out in group, no newcomers talking to newcomers, no talking to splits, pull offs or even graduates, no talking behind backs, no "getting into your head" (reflection), what goes on in group stays in group, anonymity and confidentiality. Believe it or not, I could go on! And so one day, long ago, it occurred to me that it might do wonders if we could just remove that one linchpin in the Program. RAMPANT talking out in group is what is needed. Broaden the dialog on every front and see what happens. I'd love to see this book turned into a screen-play, or at least a cameo in a popular drama.

Good work, Wayne. Glad to know ya!

 Elan is a hell hole and places like it are not unique. You have so many all along the Eastern Seaboard, like the Heck facility where Jon Carey was beaten to death earlier in 2011. That was in the NY Times. You have Green Chimneys in Brewster NY where beatings have gone on for many years along with other kinds of abuse. You also have places like some of the Devereaux branches too. Wayne does not down play the atrocities that went on in this place. Elan is an ironic name because instead of "vigorous spirit and enthusiasm," like the dictionary definition, you get crushed spirits and brutalized. Wayne saved many people because RTC'ers are good at fooling people to leave their kids in places like these. And RTCs are in isolated places where if you scream for help you dont' get heard. People who work in these places have all kinds of backgrounds and anything can happen to you once you are in one.

Disturbing and real and raw. It's about the author's experiences at the Elan School, which was billed as a school for troubled teens, but was more like a house of horrors. The kids spent most of their days screaming or being screamed at, paddling each other, wearing humiliating signs and costumes, scrubbing bathrooms, and planning escapes. The writing is excellent, though the grammar is imperfect. It's a story well worth reading, and relevant to today's "troubled teen boot camp" trends

"Wayne's book about Elan, lucid vivid, captures the gist and grinding of what it was like to be in Elan, even during my time which was 7/74 to 7/76(a couple of years before Wayne) This book touches me to my very being. It cuts through to the marrow of my bones."~Matt Hoffman

 I too downloaded this #1 bestseller in Kindle True Crime category asking myself "What is keeping my book in the #2 spot?" Well with a raised eyebrow I started to read my competition's #1 Bestseller.

It was only when I got to the second chapter that I realized this author had sucked me into what was going to become such a powerful story. I had no idea of what a great written book this would be and now I see why it is #1. It was very easy to read even with my dinner plate in hand. I did not want to put my tablet down and read it right from start to finish.

I have always said everyone has a story to tell. I have to say this is a must tell and must read.

I would recommend this book hands down.

This book was written by someone I had come to know and respect via Facebook, emails, etc.

This story is gritty and gets to the heart of the matter and it's true. When parents wonder what really happens when they send their kids to programs and entrust them to care for their kids in every way you now know. It may be a different treatment center, different M.O. but you get a good idea of whats what and realize you MUST investigate and NOT trust a brochure.

This true story touched me and made me mad all at once. How a place so monstrous was allowed open for so long is appalling.

Read it, everyone. Not just ppl who have troubled kids but maybe you were a kid like that or knew a kid who went away or maybe you just want to learn the truth. Read it and believe it.

 Every parent having problems with their child and must consider sending them to a residential program must read this book first. It will give you a thorough understanding of why children leave these places and are no better and sometimes worse. I read it cover to cover in one overnight session. And I'm grateful that I was never sent to such a place.

First Friday AW Review: A Life Gone Awry: My Story of the Elan School by Wayne Kernochan

I’ve done a lot of book reviews, but I’ve never read a nonfiction book more painful and eye-opening than Wayne Kernochan’s book. His memories are laid down bare, and the narrative is a staccato, matter-of-fact voice, almost like an old-fashioned light-bulb interrogation in a faded police movie.

The abuse he describes during his years at the Elan school is shocking and sad. I can’t imagine anyone benefiting from beatings, emotional abuse and humiliation, let alone an entire facility thinking this program would be a good idea for teenagers with emotional problems. The description is powerful, and occasionally it literally is blow-by-blow as teens are beaten for hours or forced to fight with each other.

His recollections paint a vivid picture of inmates in charge of the asylum, ramping up the violence through control and frustration. There’s no mention of licensed therapists or other professionals intervening, which should be a chilling thought to any parent.

Even with the epilogue mentioning that the school finally closed in 2011, there doesn’t seem to be a happy ending here, and one would imagine that most of the kids processed through this facility suffer from PTSD at the least. Kernochan himself mentions that he went on to prison afterward.

As for the book’s style, I was a bit lost in the beginning, but that may have been the author’s choice to simulate his own innocence going into Elan. His personal history is mentioned later in the book, but I think it could be even more effective interspersed between the memories of Elan, showing his life before, during and even afterward. All together, it’s a young life torn asunder by ignorance and aggression, recorded for history’s sake by one brave survivor.

Wayne, do you actually process your thoughts, write them down and analyze what you wrote, first before you hit submit I am sincerely questioning your intelligence here. Think about this for a second, you have complete control over what comments remain published and who is allowed on your page.......Duh!!! You have deleted every negative comment someone has posted. Much like all your blogs and facebook group and pages. Where you don't have control,  you flood by using sock puppets, porn and other insane methods. As far as reviews amounts you are constantly roaming New York City using various computers (you have admitted this often) you also have friends that have access to different computers (all you have to do is change the IP address) and when entering the page, site or whatever you are recognized as a new entry.
Trust me the word within the TTI, Wayne, is you are a fucking whackjob. Remember Eric from CAFETY, you sealed the lid of your coffin when you decided to fuck with him. Oh yeah everyone gave you lip service when you came crying, telling everyone who would listen, that Eric was abusing me. But in the end they knew, Wayne Kernochan is a pathological liar, a fabricator, an abuser (you did to Eric and NoneYa exactly what you have been doing to me), you can not be trusted. Wayne the TTI organizations that are busting there ass day in and day out don't want a callous liar like you around.
You have used up your worth. Everyone thought your memoir was going to be educational, thought provoking and show a side of Elan not many have seen. You failed horribly for two reasons. First, you have no experience at all second, you used Albert Beauchane and comments from actual survivors as your references and you could not expand on your fake experience past 11/78. Even though you said in the memoir you were there till 1980. Lets not forget the 4 witnesses you said you had testimonials from.
Wayne, you said you have an approval from me to publish this memoir. You are going to have a hard time proving that one. You lied to your publisher, your friends, every TTI site and me. You never got my permission. You are  on the hook.
Wayne I may not be liked because of my relationships with Straight survivors, which translates into a loss of respect. I can deal with that, because I know people within the TTI  know I can be trusted. In your case I have not found one person (honestly) one person that absolutely trusts you at your word. You have an encyclopedia of lies, fabrications and libelous comments strewn all over the inter net.
Because you suffer from sheer stupidity, you have actually flooded the internet with hard to believe abusive comments concerning me. I knew if I left you to your own devices (a bloated ego) you would end up fucking yourself.
Wayne all this negative publicity, works, if it actually hurts the recipient. You failed, it is now working in my favor, thanks.

You have used up your worth. Everyone thought your memoir was going to be educational, thought provoking and show a side of Elan not many have seen. You failed horribly for two reasons. First, you have no experience at all second, you used Albert Beauchane and comments from actual survivors as your references and you could not expand on your fake experience past 11/78. Even though you said in the memoir you were there till 1980. Lets not forget the 4 witnesses you said you had testimonials from.
Wayne, you said you have an approval from me to publish this memoir. You are going to have a hard time proving that one. You lied to your publisher, your friends, every TTI site and me. You never got my permission. You are  on the hook.
Wayne I may not be liked because of my relationships with Straight survivors, which translates into a loss of respect. I can deal with that, because I know people within the TTI  know I can be trusted. In your case I have not found one person (honestly) one person that absolutely trusts you at your word. You have an encyclopedia of lies, fabrications and libelous comments strewn all over the inter net.
Because you suffer from sheer stupidity, you have actually flooded the internet with hard to believe abusive comments concerning me. I knew if I left you to your own devices (a bloated ego) you would end up fucking yourself.
Wayne all this negative publicity, works, if it actually hurts the recipient. You failed, it is now working in my favor, thanks.

A book about ELAN

Not one in 136,000 views, after a year

I rest my case


Should I go there and say something nasty?

Not for nothing, but I've brought the TTI to a lot of people outside this community. You should be trying to figure out how to use that, not tear it down.

He's the only one other than you

You do know the others (Horatio, Margaret Devlin and Rudriuadh) are him, right?

No Wayne they are not. Margaret Devlin is most definitely not, Horatio is John Wright another Elan member and Ruaraidh is a friend from Ireland. Your problem is, just because you admitted to using puppets you want me too.
Well if I used them I would.
Wayne you have not brought awareness to the outside community. The only opinion the community has of you, is that you are a liar. Read your Amazon site for your memoir. My review has several people agreeing with it. About equal with the friends you dragged over there to review your book. Wayne you have absolutely no support here, on CAFETY, Program Watch, SIA, Susan Schofields, Wanye ing Blog, your page. No where are you being supported. Elan people don't even come here by the dozens to support you. You are a liar, do you get it, you are not believable. You told everyone 18 months ago, you had proof for all your claims. You had 4 people from Elan that would testify on your behalf to my abuses. You lied to me, to the Elan community and to the TTI community. You never had anyone because every single Elan survivor is not willing to stand along side a liar. You made a fool out of all of us. You are a fucking fraud.
So you go on a keep lying, posting stupid posts trying to make up connections that don't exist and acting like you are a survivor. I really don't care. But don't fucking post that my friends are fake because they are not.
I told you 3 times (this is not a threat we don't do violence) we will all be in Rhode Island this July. Meet us there or in Connecticut, Hartford. I'll pay for your train fare. Margaret lives in Rhode Island and Raur lives in Boston.
You can finally meet everyone and hear the story, just in case you still feel we are lying. Then you can tell everyone here once and for all these are real people.
You will not come, I am sure of it. There will be an excuse or some stupid reason. Wayne if you are a Elan Survivor be there, this will end it all.

5.0 out of 5 stars HAIR RAISING EXPERIENCE, February 27, 2012
By
RJ Parker "Avaricious Reader & True Crime Author" (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Life Gone Awry: My Story of the Elan School (Kindle Edition)
 A LIFE GONE AWRY: MY STORY OF THE ELAN SCHOOL is fraught with detail and emotions. This is about a young boy who was sent to Elan school for difficult children only to be humiliated and tortured. It's quite disturbing at times and unbelievably frustrating to know that this school was given a free pass to do what they did.

From reading some of the comments, it seems that a couple of people don't believe this story to be true. So, I done a bit of research myself today and found that it is true and I have no reason to doubt this author.

A brilliant story told by a prolific writer. I applaud you for surviving those years and making yourself a better person in the process.

I have no idea who this guy is. He's done 124 reviews, so it's not a fake profile

Why do you post this, His review does not help you at all. It is not based on any research or he would have posted the research. Wayne I have held a lot of my friends back from writing a review on your stupid memoir but if you persist on having your friends come on write a review and lie about research there is no way they could have done. I will open the door to to every one and bury your memoir in negative reviews.
I have tried very hard to keep that amazon site clean from biased reviews. But you seem to not want to do this. Every new person you meet that has anything to do with writing, the first thing you impose on them is if they would write a review for you. Several members of your old writers blog, Absolute Write have emailed me and told me this. Oh. They all know you are back on Absolute Write trolling under a different username, Wayne you were banned. They asked me to tell you to stop, you are abusing them and they don't like it.
Wayne you are a fucking liar, I emailed the guy and he absolutely knows who you are. Once again the fucking lies, always lie with you.
