Negative Positive
Title: poorly written true crime
Review: As a reader of over a thousand true crime novels, this book was very disappointing. It was fraught with fragmented sentences, poor english, disjointed and scattered thoughts, and was written is a very biased manner. Valessa Robinson got a sweetheart sentence, for without her this crime would not have occured. (Let us remember Pam Smart, who wasn't even present at the murder of her husband. She was just as guilty.) The author seemed to blame the mother for her own murder by being too lax in her dealings with her daughter. She mentions throughout that Vicki's friends were very anti-Valessa, forgetting that these are the very people who knew both the victim and her daughter and had a very good understanding of what was going on in the Robinson household. A writer should not allow herself to become one-sided in her reporting of a crime. I wonder if Ms. Wellman has had teenage children. The writer needs an English class, or, at least, a new editor.
