This review is from: Polly Klaas: The Murder of America's Child (Paperback)

This is the most inaccurate piece of literature I have ever encountered. As someone who was involved in the Polly Klaas case, I was able to find 13 inaccuracies in the first 5 pages of the book. The tabloid-style sensationalism that this book embraces not only emphasizes it's poor quality, but is offensive to Polly's legacy.

I think the book was ok.I wish they would have spoke about the girls life a little more.It is tragic that those kind of things happen in the world today. It makes you feel that your not safe anywhere.
