Customer Reviews

Well Written

Wow, who would have thought. For a different side of the story (and there is always another side)this is a good read. Whether or not you buy the information being told is another thing. I found it a good read and a sad story.

must read

A great book into understanding the mind of Lyle Menendez. Like another reviewer said, you really should be up on the case, otherwise you won't understand it. The problem with the book, the author puts too much of her opinion in it. She makes it obvious she does not believe Lyle from the beginning. If you're interested in the case, and are up on all of your information on the trial, you'll love it. If you know nothing, you won't understand a word.

A very exciting book to read when bored!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think this book is very interesting that has a lot of liars to send the brothers to jail. The two brothers are smart but it's Lyle that deserves almost all the credit. Lyle may be a tiny bit manipulative but he has a lot of knowledge and you could read the book to see all of the adventures they did. You must read it!!!!!!!!!!

A very thrilling book

I think this book is thrilling the two brothers have a lot of knowledge to waste in jail. The book is boring in the beginning but as keep on reading it get's interesting. When I first started reading I couldn't stop reading until my eyes got tired of reading.

The murderer in his own words!

This book reveals a side of Lyle Menendez, that will perhaps be a shock to many people. It's a book based on conversations between Norma Novelli and Lyle, while he was awaiting his first trial. It quickly becomes clear that Norma doesn't believe that Lyle was abused by his parents. She mentions how he with pride mentioned that this case was one of the biggest ever in America. The book even includes a letter that he wrote to a former girlfriend, telling her how to testify in court. Throughout the book, Lyle is described as a cold and manipulative person, who Norma believes is a remorseless killer.
