This review is from: JonBenet's Gift: A Miracle for the Millennium (Hardcover)

While a reader who left a bad review on Amazon attacked the author as a "disgruntled employee" as the basis for his poor review, my opinion expresses my not being able to find a "gift" in all of the reading. To me I found this book upsetting, not at the author, more at the content. I take the book with a "grain of salt" because I am not solid in my stance about channelling, but if in fact the author's "readings" on JonBenet are in fact true it hurts to read that her life was such a rotten one. JonBenet is called a very vulgar name by her own mother who also contends that she is a bad person who will go to hell. While the book offers yet another take on this tragedy, I can't see the "gift" of it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Think about it...., February 23, 2000

I worked at Access with Jane, as well. She all but admits to being a disgruntled ex-employee. The entire premise of the book is her fantasy of what happened, with no supporting facts. I'm in awe that she is legally able to portay these fantasies in such a way that they appear to be "inside information" or in any way based in fact! I am truly sorry if Jane suffered the kind of childhood she details in this book, but it doesn't excuse manipulating the details of a crime she knows no more about than the rest of us, or exploiting a tragedy to seek personal vengeance. She was never a fan of the Ramseys, and always quick to spread any gossip. It's scary to see it becoming a career! Check your facts, folks, and save your money...

It's strange, but I too, knew the author when she was employed by the Ramsey's and knew of her intense hatred for the family. I am glad I am not alone in my feeling that this book is simply her way of making money off of someone else's tragedy, money that she could make legitimately IF SHE COULD HOLD A LEGITIMATE JOB. The last "real" job the author had was with the Ramsey's and that ended in 1994. She has been living a long time off of her negative energy and vindictiveness for being fired. As one other reviewer said, GET A JOB! The author is no more a psychic medium than Bill Clinton is a celibate monk. Don't be one that buys into helping her make it rich at the expense of a family that is already suffering in their own personal hell.
