Global Aging and Challenges to Families
This reads like sensationalist tabloid true-crime.
Although most crime authors tend to sensationalize the story for the market, I really wanted to yell at both of these authors. First of all, if you're going to pretend to be a nonpartial observer/writer, be NONPARTIAL.
The entirety of the book is overwhelmingly pro-Jeremy, the 23yr old rapist/murderer who was "overwhelmed" and "seduced" by a "smart and emotionally moving" 12yr old.
I REPEAT: You're supposed to feel sorry for the 23 yr old for coming under the influence of his 12 year old girlfriend? Come on.
The book is painfully uncomfortable to read in parts, with the author's opinions overwhelming the facts on the page, and the levels of conjecture where fact is non-existent are completely blown out of proportion.
I'd say that if you want more information about the case, wikipedia it. Otherwise, forget it.
