This book is basically a record of all of the interviews the Ramseys have endured in the past 7 years. It is exact word for word reviews. This book isnt really for you if you want to know about JonBenet's murder and the suspicion that surrounds her controversial family. Although it was good, I have read better.
If you want to hear evidence straight from John and Patsy Rmaseys own mouths, this book is definately for you!

It's pretty obvious after reading this book that the Ramsey's were treated very differently than most parents of a murdered child.

Their attorney proclaimed on tv how hard ball these interviews were, how the cops accused them. I did not see that at all. They treated these people with kid gloves, and only asked a few times if they were involved. The clips that were shown on tv were these very few times. But the rest of the interviews consisted of an attempt to gain information about their habits and what happened the days leading up to the murder, so that law enforcement could solve the murder. I thought the cops were more than cordial to them. Patsy comes off being very hostile,phony and stupid.

They also tried to call the shots as to how and when they were interviewed. It took 4 months for them to have the first interview. Very telling.

After I read this book, I reread the Ramsey's book. It's amazing how Mrs. Ramsey recalled item after item of insignificant details about other events in her own book, but when interviewed by the people trying to solve the murder of their daughter she can't recall a thing.

I am glad that the National Enquirer produced this book. It's been documented that a friend sold these tapes for $40,000 to the Enquirer. My question is why would these people even have access to what should have been confidential information in an open murder case. What's sad is the case will never be solved, information like this, although interesting, helps the killer. The Ramseys and their friends should not be revealing information like this if they truly want the case solved. Just shows me that they don't.

It's pretty amazing to read this book of the Ramseys' police interviews and see how much Patsy Ramsey cannot recall or remember. Then read the Ramsey's book "Death of Innocence" where tiny little details are spelled out.

This book is pretty incriminating. If one was not sure of the Ramseys guilt before reading this book, (like me), reading it may surely put you over the fence.

It's sickening how hypocritical these people were-- when comparing this to their book. And how little they helped the police. No wonder the crime is unsolved.

This is vital reading on the Ramsey case and I would recommend that anyone interested in the case buy it. However, I would also recommend that readers look at the full transcripts of the interviews etc (since this version is, I understand, edited) in order to judge the case more fully. My understanding is that the circumstances of the National Enquirer obtaining these documents are interesting and I would recommend that readers research these - partly for an insight into the subculture surrounding JonBenet's death and partly in order to understand more fully that this book isn't the definitive guide to the official documents. It is nonetheless a Must Buy.

After reading this superbly written book, I am still no closer to MY own conclusion. Excellent word by word account from the investigators & the Ramseys, but still leaves a lot of unanswered questions. I do not like, however, how Mrs. Ramsey is blamed at the end of the book due to her handwriting analysis.

By reading this book, it seems that the Ramseys' want to stay quiet and not even give the interviews to begin with. Especially when the police are asking grilling questions that make the Ramseys squirm. But in thier book, death of innocence, they say everything they can about from the day they met to now. And when the police ask about it, they 'don't remeber' or 'don't recall.' BIG comparisons between both books. they DO KNOW everything and they just don't want to say it. I think the Ramseys have the word 'guilty' written all over thier faces. I used to think this case was going to be solved, but now I'm not so sure. Maybe if the Ramseys stop acting so retarded and give the police the info they need, that is, the TRUTH, then maybe jonbenet will get what she needs: 'justice!' the whole murder was planned out or something happened that night that went horribly wrong. it makes me sick on how these stupid parents are acting about finding the killer. they are not even doing anything. just moving from house to house, avoiding everyone and letting the police do everything. no, the ramseys have to help too and stop being so aggressive. they want to find the killer of thier child? the way they're acting, it's never going to happen. i'll also bet that when they're gone and burke's all grown up, first thing he'll do is go to the police and say everything he knows about what happened to his sister. i'll be looking out for that in the next 20 or 30 years. new stories for the tabloids and tv. 'jonbenet's brother tells all,' 'burke tells police his parents are killers' 'burke and his frightened teenage years living with killer parents.' and all kinds of headlines. or, who knows? maybe we'll get a death bed confession from one of the parents? although they'll be dead, at least we have the answer to 'who killed jonbenet?' this book really makes the parents look like murderers. i like how detailed it is and i learned a lot of new things about the case i never knew before. a great read for anyone who wants to know about 'behind closed doors' in the case. although, it does leave a lot of unanswered questions that i have.

NOT a compilation of tabloid stories, this book is made up mostly of actual transcripts of the police interviews. The prologue was a bit "tabloid", but.... well, it WAS published by the tabloid publishers.

If you want to know what the cops were asking the Ramseys - - this is the book you want. Not spin or theory - - just the truth of what the cops were asking behind closed doors.

This author, along with all the other parasites involved in the JonBenet case (and some of the dodgy reviewers posting on these sort of books) should now write books explaining how they are now eating humble pie and apologise.

Lou Smit investigated the case in a fascinating doco and proved how it was not the parents but an intruder. Looks like he was right all along and the scandal-mongering gutter press were not. Quelle surprise!
