review 1: I was only 3 years old when Mary Jo Buttafuoco was shot in the head by Amy Fisher, her husband's 16-year-old mistress, so this event wasn't something I had knowledge of before reading this book. At any rate, this story was extremely interesting to me. There are a million clinical sounding books out there about manipulation and what is going on inside the heads of sociopaths, but it's much more enlightening to actually hear someone's life story about their real experiences.
review 2: I found the book kind of agravating - not sure Joey Buttafuco is a sociopath - more like a dry addict. I'm glad Mary Jo Buttafuco has recovered and is happy but I don't think she was as much a victim of Joey Buttafuco as she wants to believe and wants us to believe. She blames hi... morem for many events that she willingly participated in. I'm the first one to defend and root for someone who has been victimized but I get annoyed when someone wants to blame someone else for all of the repercussions of their actions. I think she needed some money and there weren't any talk shows that wanted to interview her so she wrote a book. Meh!! less
