1.0 out of 5 stars hypocrite, July 25, 2002

This review is from: Silent Blue Tears (Paperback)

Before everyone feels sorry for Ms. Truax and the injustice she claims she suffered, maybe you should ask her the "true" story versus her "fictional" story. As a victim of one of her vendettas to get to the top, which (lol) she failed at,I do not recommend this book to any woman that has the desire to be all that she can be. This book is not inspirational nor is it truthful to what could happen. Noticably, the author lacks the full truth in most of the circumstances and twists words to suit her, which she has had plenty of practice with. Consciously I would not promote this book due to the hypocrity that is found between the lines that are hidden in this book.
If you desire to be a Female that can make a difference in the world, seek elsewhere.

1.0 out of 5 stars Get a proofreader, please!!, August 22, 2002

This review is from: Silent Blue Tears (Paperback)

Whether Truax's experiences are relayed accurately or not is almost beyond the point. Who can get that far, when you have to wade through such truly bad writing? I've never seen such a collection of malapropisms and mispellings, not to mention the shoddy printing that keeps stopping mid-line and neglecting to denote where paragraphs should start and end. Though it makes a fun parlor game for locals (guess which character represents which local officer?), this book is a classic example of everyting that's wrong with vanity presses. If a regular publisher won't touch it, there's probably a reason. And I won't even start on the poetry...

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't bother!, August 29, 2002

This review is from: Silent Blue Tears (Paperback)

This book cries out: for a proof-reader, an editor, and a really good therapist for the "author." As Nancy Truax herself asserts, she's college educated and details count: so how do you explain a "one carrot diamond?"

And the reason for this book's publication would be....catharsis?

If you're dying to read a good book about women's history and struggle for equality, please buy Lalita Tademy's CANE RIVER. The women in her book are black, born into slavery and have a story to tell. Poor Nancy~ white, middle-class and with a choice about where she works...

The good-ol'-boys club needs some serious re-vamping; I know because I was one of the women police officers who worked with Nancy. What I can't understand is how she makes excuse after excuse for an abusive husband, but is mad as hell at the men she works with who treat her as badly, or even just indifferently. Please Nancy, get a therapist before you write another book.
