Jon Benet's Mother: The Tragedy and The Truth!

Rating:
Summary: You only saw the side, Patsy wanted you to see.
Review: Had I committed this crime and my friends saw me as the perfect mother, I would surely have expected the same. I remember a quote from a newspaper concerning the two students who murdered the Zantop Dartmouth professors, "If these two above average young men comitted this crime I would surely lose all faith in mankind." They confessed and were convicted. So I certainly think this book did nothing but circumvent the real issues, express one's own feelings and sympathy. Good try!

Rating:
Summary: Not a well rounded book
Review: I tossed this book in my circular file. Linda Mc- lean sees Patsy through the filters of emotion and the fact that she has a relationship with her. She does no justice to the facts of the case. Her book is just an emotional backlash at the gereral public who believe that the parents are guilty.

Rating:
Summary: For non-thinkers only!
Review: OK, we read about the perfect mother but have you ever considered how many criminals were true 'angels' before the were arrested for their hideous crimes? Too many indeed.
As far as I am concerned, Patsy Ramsey has to be judged based on the facts and not her life-style before the 25th December 1996, and the facts are that she may not killed her daughter, but surely covers up the killer..

Summary: For non-thinkers only!
Review: This book does nothing to allay the supicion I have for Patsy. Just because Patsy's friend points out all the "wonderful" things as well as the lack of "dark sides" of Patsy does not excuse Patsy's evasive behavior and nor does it change the fact that Patsy DID have a dark side even if she did not murder her daughter. Patsy making JonBenet into her alter-ego is a "dark side" and a pretty bad one at that. The story is one sided and ends with emotional cries of foulness to the general public who feel the Ramseys are guilty (or at least acting guilty). There is no consideration of the FACTS of the murder in this pro-Patsy "Miss can do wrong" book. I am not impressed.

Summary: A good book
Review: This book shows the Ramseys from the point of view of close friends. I think it's great that so many people stood up for them. This book was not meant to address the case at all, just to show a different side of the Ramseys that we never see in the media. I believe the Ramseys are innocent. I was very moved about the part where Patsy invited her husband's ex-wife to spend Christmas with them, so she wouldn't be alone. How very compassionate. Susan Smith would never have this many close friends standing up for her..I think this is a great book for anyone interested in the case. For those who think the Ramseys are innocent, it just confirms it. For those who think they are guilty..perhaps it will help change a few minds.
