Negative Positive
Title: I should have read the reviews here before purchase
Review: I picked up this book while wandering through a bricks & mortar bookstore on sojourn with a hospitalized relative. I read lots of "true crime" but never before have I encountered such a one-sided unabashed apologia for the evil-doer (Danny Starrett.) The authors (the cover says they have previously won a Pulitzer prize - surely THAT book was less biased?) insinuated themselves into Danny's family - but the trade-off in their "deal with the Devil's" family is obvious. More balanced writers such as Ann Rule can take input from friends and family and give insight into the criminal mind and development, but in this case the unfortunate result is 400 pages of "poor Danny and his Momma" with short shrift for the victims, their families or loved ones.
Is the review positive or negative?
