review 1: The story is worthwhile, but this version is poorly written, full of typos, and Laughter admits that he changed some of the details, so you never know what is real and what isn't. I'm glad I slogged through it to finally learn most of what actually happened in this case, but ick, the effort was intense. I'm learning not to bother with a lot of the free books offered up by Kindle and the other e-readers. They are often duds like this.
review 2: Subtitled The Untold Story of Steven Stayner. It is about a boy kidnapped at 7 in 1972 and who saved another boy 7 years later kidnapped by the same guy and finally returned home. I've seen a film on the case called "I Know My Name Is Stephen", I think. The book was very interesting and was co-written by Steven's best ... morefriend from school-Sharon. It was so sad that he finally escaped from this guy at 14 and sadly died only a decade later in a motorcycle accident.Sadly the book WAS spoilt somewhat with horrific spelling and apostrophe errors which marred it for me hence the 3 stars instead of more.The little boy he saved, Timmy White, was only 5 and he died young too at 34 from a pulmonary embolism so the whole story is incredibly tragic.There was a lovely statue commissioned in his local area too of him walking little Timmy to safety. less
