Summary: ?????
Review: How cam someone write a book about a crime when it had not even gone to court. ?

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Was this book edited?
Review: In the beginning of this book, it says Lacy's birthday is May 4th, 1975 (the day before mine), but when the author talks about Laci's memorial service on April 27th, 2003, he says Laci would have turned 28 that day. A caption of one of the photos says the same thing.

When the author first mentions Marc Klaas, whose daughter Polly was kidnapped and murdered, he says it happened in 1993. Near the end of the book, he says Richard Davis kidnapped her in 1983. I was BORN in 1983! The incorrect year appears twice in that paragraph.

This book is full of interesting tidbits about the case, but some readers will still catch onto incorrect information such as dates and years. It makes me wonder if the author included other incorrect information in his book. I can't wait until the trial is over and better authors write better books with all the grisly details we didn't have access to during the investigation and the trial.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: WWARD?
Review: Ok, I admit it: I cheat my diet now and then with a nutritious Krispy Kreme donut, & sometimes I read the ever erudite Enquirer - what else to do when stranded in a slow-moving check-out line? Cliff Linedecker, Best-Selling Author in his own write, has teamed with National Enquirer staffers in several recent rush-to-print-while-the-story's-still hot "true crime" books. And the results are, amazingly, pretty good.

This book goes beyond the quickie sound bites and glimmers we all saw on TV. It makes Scott Peterson look even more guilty. But yes, the criminal justice jurisprudence of the United States of America insists that one is innocent until proven guilty. Pray, Scott, that your potential jury pool does not read this book!

WWARD? What Would Ann Rule (reigning diva of True Crime Writing) Do? Wait until the jury verdict is in and at least some of the seemingly endless appeals are exhausted. So, while reading this book, remember the tabloid from which it sprang: an entertaining diversion, a guilty pleasure about as substantial and nutritious as a Krispy Kreme, and devour them both. Reviewed by TundraVision.

Summary: Was this book edited?
Review: This book is very informative. If one knows very little about the background of the case, it gives good details. It also comes with good pictures. If you are like me and have logged onto her web site along with modbee.com and ktvu.com and scottpetersontrial.com and have already read every article, this book will be repetitive.

I only got it because I wish I got to know Laci Peterson. It was my way of getting to know her, her family, and to see what she went through in her final days. This tragedy has touched me! The Rocha family is so down to earth and it's a shame that this even happened to Laci and Conner.

Rating: 4 stars
