If your a True Crime Fanatic: Blood Rush Is Mind Blowing!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Blood Rush (Mass Market Paperback)
Being an avid True Crime book reader, I can say Blood Rush kept me wide-eyed the whole time I read. Attention to detail was given with a lean towards sympathy for Green. I do believe though that his wife got away with murder!

I bought this book because I went to school with Ricky Lee Green. It was a big mistake. The book is evil and I couldn't wait to get it out of my Christian home. We burned it so no one else would be able to get their hands on it. Shame on you Patricia Springer for writing such a vile book. This story did NOT need to be retold. By the way, you had several facts incorrect.

This review is from: Blood Rush (Paperback)
Sharon worked with my mother and their group of friends always got together for events and to just hang out on weekends and holidays. As the kids, we often spent the night together and did extra curricular activities like skating bowling and going to the movies together. When I look back, I realize that we never went to Sarah's house, but she was always with us. Many times, one parent would keep all of the kids and allow the other parents time to themselves. To be completely honest, I always thought Sarah was spoiled as a child. She got alot of things like being allowed to go to Six Flags and movies in the middle of the week. Just weird things that my own mother would tell me I couldn't do on school days. However, Sharon was and is a very gentle, loving mother. I am willing to say that looking back, though she was terrified of this psycho man she was married to and kept her mouth shut about what was happening, I do believe that she sheltered Sarah and made sure that she was with friends and family often. I think that it is very possible that Sarah did not hear or see anything that happened. All of us felt weird around Ricky, but nothing ever made me think that Sarah was being abused. And for the record, Sharon is only guilty of being in a relationship with an abusive man that convinced her that if she did not help him that he would kill her. I think people need to give her credit for her moment of clarity when she was able to call the authorities despite her fear. I do believe that this book gives a fair depiction of Ricky's childhood and his strange family as I have been told by my own mother. However, Ricky Green was a monster. No one liked him and he made every person he came in contact with uncomfortable by simply being in the room. I find it very offensive to see that Sharon is the one who reported the issue and that she has never been in trouble since (and yes, our parents keep in touch) but people say she got away with something. That is like saying that a woman who was hit by her husband got away with making him mad. For the most part, the author has her facts straight, but lacks in capturing the individuals characters.
