Review: Murdered by Mother
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 10 21, 2012
The first thing that struck me when reading this book was the use of personal pronouns. This sick, sad story is all about the killer mom, not the innocent child. It is interesting to look inside the thought pattern of one who commits the most abominable crime - killing ones own child. The author makes this quote: "I want you to decide if the events in Julie's life were "reasonable" catalysts for her fatal action.  By "reasonable" I do not mean justifiable." My "decision is that there was and are NO "reasonable" catalysts for her fatal action. This is not a "reasonable" decision, but an evil one. The author gives a sympathetic look at a person who most would not give the the time of day. Many of us could not find within us that sympathy. In spite of this, perhaps interviews with those who commit these horrendous crimes may give us some insight and forewarning  to some clues that will prevent more of these.
