Very Disturbing Story: Such a heinous crime commited by girls that are really no more than young children. How could their lives have gone so wrong to committ such a heinous crime against elderly grandparents ? I highly recommend this book as a true crime read. It is very graphic and well written. The author takes you on a roller coaster ride. Some parts are very intense, then he gives you a little rest and back to the drama unfolding.
Teenage Girls Gone Bad: This book was very hard for me to read. I had to take breaks because it was very graphic and such a tragic ending that didn't have to be. Such a horrible way for a couple of elderly grandparents to spend their last minutes of life. I highly recommend this book. The author certainly put in some leg work with researching this story. Thanks for a well written true crime read.
THIS BOOK GAVE ME NIGHTMARES: This is the second book I have ready by Dale Hudson. It was so well-written and so intense that it gave me nightmares. The murder scene was so vivid and surreal that I felt like I was right there all the way, watching as Holly Harvey and Sandy Ketchum killed the Colliers. I have never read about any murder before that scared me this much. My only problem was that even though I was frightened by what I read, I couldn't stop reading until I was finished. I highly recommend this book for any true crime lovers, but caution you to keep the lights on while you read.
I'm shocked--for two reasons: While it's certainly shocking what these two girls did to Holly's grandparents, I was shocked that a book this poorly written and edited made it to the shelves. It was so poorly written, in fact--so full of misused words, typos, silly idioms and redundancies that it distracted from the fascinating story. The author really, REALLY needs to be a little more careful and not in such a rush to meet a deadline. Editing truly is important. A lot of editing would have made this a much better book.
Good Book, Sad Story: I had originally read this story in brief in a magazine and decided that I needed more info. I found the book hard to get into at first. So many details and facts not much about the victims or the killers. After the first chapter I could not put it down I read the book in full in three days. I think that the author did very well in describing the details. I felt sorry for everyone involved. I didn't to much agree that Sandy was as innocent as the author made it sound, she played a equal role. But I enjoyed the book over all. Such a tragedy such young girls doing such a horrible thing.
