Gripping book - By: Tammy T, 30 Oct 2008 
I loved this book, I couldnt put it down. I don't agree with the negative reviews this book has been given. Tracie was possibly bruised by a man fighting for his life !
I feel very sorry for Maureen, as she does come across bitter. I think it's easy for people to judge her, when they have not suffered at the hands of a crime like this. If it was badly written .. i didnt notice !
I'd Give this No Stars If I Could!, - By: Fiz, 30 Aug 2008 
This book is full of typos & bad grammar, but more that that, it is full of lies. It was my dearest friend whose daughter heard alll the screaming in the road & at whose house Tracie Andrews turned up & spun her lies. It was my friend, who is ex-police, that alerted the police officers to the knife shaped blood stain on Andrew's leg. She also said that Tracie had been badly beaten up (so much for the "gentle" son Harvey tries to depict). My friend is a solicitor & said that Andrews would have got a much lighter sentence if she'd admitted it was a domestic row that got out of hand. What she & I will never forgive Maureen Harvey for is revealing my friend's daughters' name. She is still on a protected list of witness & Harvey has blown it. Apart from anything else, it is badly written & and full of hatred - do yourself a favour, save your money & don't buy the book!
Very sad, heartbreaking book - By: LA Wilson, 14 Jul 2008 
This book-written by the victims mother was always going to be slightly one-sided. Of course she painted her son in a glowing light-Lee was her son!!! What else would she do?
However, the book was well written & in parts had me in tears.
A heartbreaking read - By: L. Thomas, 21 Feb 2008 Having read some of the reviews on here i was dubious of reading this book. However, i decided to when i saw it on the shelf at the library.
No one can understand what the family & friends of Lee went through. The only people that know the real Lee are those closes to him. All i know is that i would never believe a word that comes out of Tracie Andrews mouth. Some people are under the impression that they were both as bad as each other, i personallly do not believe this. I cant say i enjoyed reading this book but it was nice to hear the story from Maureen. I had forgotten a lot of the information, reading it again i just hope she stays behind bars for as long as possible!
A heartbreaking story - By: mskittenheels, 10 Jan 2008 
I was worried about writing a review for this book as i didnt want to appear insenstive, however i dont think Maureen comes across very well in the book. Yes she has lost her son & that is completely devestating but i believe the story to contain many inacurracies, that even a reader who knows nothing but the media version can see.
In the beginning of the book, she actuallly turns on the well wishers & supporters, people who genuinely wanted to help & give her a listening ear instead she vilifies these well wishes & is almost to a point vindictive about them.
The book is not that well written but the story is as others have said "unputdownable" it just irks me that she has used the book to have a pop at people she doesnt like, i appreciate the book would be biased but some of the things in there seem so far fetched.
