"I agree with others who have said that this book was poorly written and poorly edited. It was also unnecessarily graphic. I read the book because I was appalled by the news coverage related to the Lafave story. I felt that the seriousness of this woman's crime was underplayed BECAUSE she was a woman. The overall impression that was given by the media, in my opinion, is that it is more "okay" for a female (a teacher by the way, in a position of trust) to violate that trust because an underage boy (fourteen!) is less of a victim than an underage girl would be. I found the whole thing to be very disturbing, and the book didn't effectively address any of my concerns."
"The story was compelling reading. The publisher did a lousy job editing the book. In some places there were repeated words and even repeated sentence fragments. I don't expect Mr. Lefave to catch this but, the publisher should have. Isn't that the job of the editor? I did find that the story was tough to put down. I wanted to see how the story unfolded. Debra dropped major clues all over the place. It is a shame no one stepped in to stop this. I am sure her husband really had no clue. But, her co-workers were fools. Just my opinion."
"I'm a little embarrassed that I read this book, but seeing as how this all happened here in Tampa, I was fascinated with the situation! The book is poorly written, but what happened is unreal. I actually enjoyed the book in spite of the writing and have a totally different perspective on the case now!"
