Book Description

January 16, 2001
The Mary Kay Letourneau Affair, by James Robinson, is a fact based new look at one of the most widely publicized sexual abuse cases of the 20th century.

Why would Ms Letourneau, an intelligent, well educated, married mother of four risk everything - her family, her career, her very freedom, for an illicit affair with a thirteen year old boy? Why would the boy's own mother not want Mary to be prosecuted? Is this a love story, a case of sexual abuse, or something else all together?

Mr. Robinson attempts to answer these questions, as well as others in his detailed new book. Summaries and tables are provided to help readers see the minor details and understand all the intricacies of this case.

Perhaps considered by some to be controversial, this book dares to challenge popular opinions and commonly held assumptions, and dig for the truth.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't Waste Your Money!, March 17, 2001
This review is from: The Mary Kay Letourneau Affair (Paperback)
What a disappointment! After waiting several weeks for the book to arrive, I was dismayed to see that it's written as more of a college thesis than a straight biography, which is what I thought I was getting. I've ordered several books from Amazon.com before and have been very satisfied. But I'm returning this one. I thought this book would be more like "If Loving You Is Wrong" by Gregg M. Olsen, which I enjoyed reading.

1.0 out of 5 stars Much better book just released, July 22, 2004
By 
This review is from: The Mary Kay Letourneau Affair (Paperback)
A woman who was in prison with Mary has just written a book called "Mass With Mary - The Prison Years" by Christina Dress. This book kept me up late last night until I finished it. It gives an intimate look at the people, the story, the prison. It has humor and tears. For the first time in years, there is something "different" and new about the Mary Kay Letourneau story to read. Something written from someone close to her, not by writers who are guessing.

1.0 out of 5 stars Rediculous!, July 27, 2004
This review is from: The Mary Kay Letourneau Affair (Paperback)
As many others have reported, this book just didn't cut it. I've been very interested in the Letourneau case and try to read anything about it, but this book I could have done without.
I'd suggest "If Loving You Is Wrong" by Greg Olson, and "Mass With Mary" by Christina Dress and Letourneau...from the prison. These are two really good books! And these writers seem to know what they're writing about!
