"I was surprised after reading this book to discover I had changed my mind somewhat about this whole incident. I was probably like most people offended and outraged at a teacher sexually abusing a student. However, I came to understand this was no ordinary case of molestation. I truly came to believe it was a love match between adult and child. Who was the child and who was the adult is the big question? I just feel the teacher in question was suffering from a mental illness and arrested emotional development. This does not excuse the teacher's bad behavior; she should have waited until the boy was older to consummate the relationship."
"Very detailed account of the public information available about Mary Kay Letourneau, the infamous 6th grade teacher who bore two children with one of her students.
I read the Kindle version which apparently came via a scan and had typos spready liberally throughout.
The writing was disappointing. It was very difficult to keep track of the large cast of characters. The chapters are short and not all in chronological order.
"A poorly researched but well written piece of true crime trash. He paints several different portraits of Mary Kay Letorneau, but all of his sources contradict each other on their basic accounts of her character and her relationship with her husband. And his main source is the lady who did all the trashy tv reporting on the local Seattle news channel.
Despite the fact that he didn't get a single source really close to the family, it's still a compelling book. And he didn't predict that they would get married in the end, but hey, who did? Not me, that's for sure."
