I remember when this happened and how it made me want to cry for the loss of such a precious innocent little girl. I got to say I didn't settle any questions I had over this case from reading this book. While I do believe Mr. Ablow has done his job with the research needed to write a true crime book, it felt like he was trying to convince me of how innocent she was and I'm not sure she is. Lots of people have bad upbringings.

See the thing is she may not have done the killing of her little girl but to me she is still so very guilty of failing Caylee in her life and in her death. She hid, ran and lied after Caylee disappearance and that to me is unforgivable. He just really never convinced me her parents were terrible people but, instead, convinced me she was a nut who needed serious help and didn't sound as if she was capable of raising a child.

Just a sad, sad case. One of thousands that make my heart bleed. ( )

Full of redundant and repetitive statements as well as some outlandish claims. I thoroughly enjoy psychology. It is one of my favorite subject, and I tend to believe much of what people think is unbelievable. But the claims that Ablow makes are even too much for me to believe. In essence, it's like a long-winded, dull blog entry that turns annoying really quickly. ( )

Keith Ablow writes good novels. With this non-fiction book he repeats himself endlessly. One scene at Caylee's birth, in particular, he must have referred to in detail at least a dozen times when once was clearly enough. I learned a lot about the background of Casey and a bit about Cindy, George, and Caylee from a psychological viewpoint, which is Ablow's intent but I think he wrote a 100 page book on 236 pages. The trial is not covered. ( )
