Inviting Case Worthy of Study.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Above The Law (Paperback)
As a former prosecutor and judge (who had nothing to do with the Capano Case) I found Mr. Karem's book a great look at an extraordinary trial. Most trials are nothing like This! It was a well written book and it got better as one progressed through it. The author masterfully weaved together the sardonic and the sublime to keep interest high throughout -- even though we already knew what the end would be. For students of the law I'd recommend it as a cautionary tale of everything you don't want to have to face in a high profile case. Indeed as lawyers I'm sure we will be studying the Capano case for years to come.

Cutesie and true crime don't mix!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Above The Law (Paperback)
This book was like reading a long newspaper article on the murder. The facts are given, and given in the correct chronological order. There are numerous typos, but I suppose this is to be expected with a quickie book. I didn't appreciate the cutesie chapter titles. They aren't appropriate for this sad story. I can't believe that with all of the schmoozing I saw Karem doing with the Fahey family, as well as the Capano family at the court house, that by naming the chapters so, he could be so insensitive to the murder of the Fahey's sister and the pain the Capano girls must be feeling about their father's actions. Easy reading, no thinking involved. For some, that's enough.

Jumbled, badly written. How can it be so highly rated?,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Above The Law (Paperback)
All I can figure is that the readers who've praised this book did not read the other two available accounts, by Ann Rule and George Anastasia. "Above the Law" is poorly organized. The writing is mediocre at best and atrocious in parts. Karem badly needs an editor! If you'll read only one book about this sensational case, by all means choose either Rule's or Anastasia's book. They're well worth the higher price.
