A Killing Of Innocence

Rating:
Summary: Misinformed
Review: ... It is obvious that the book was not properly edited and the material itself is biased. The book seems to solely focus on the murderer's family information, and does not touch on that of the victim's. ... Overall it was a struggle to read and a great disappointment. ...

Summary: Wish I could select negative 10 stars
Review: This book, which thankfully I borrowed, could be used by authors worldwide as a shining example of poor research skills, deplorable use of language, and excellent yellow journalism. As an example, the setting of the crime takes place in New Berlin, NY. The river flowing through that small town is the Unadilla, not the Chenango, as reported in this book. Similar errors abound. That aside, the errors in spelling, grammar, and syntax make this a difficult book to read. Additionally, I found this "objective" account to be incredibly biased. Mr. Warren, a basic writing course would be my suggestion, and please make up your mind whether you would like to write an account from one perspective or if you would like to be an objective journalist.

Summary: Yellow Journalism has returned....
Review: This reporter seems to be making April out to be a martyr, rather than the cold-blooded killer she is. It sickens me that Mr. Warren attempts to justify April's actions and, as a youth in the community at the time, I am deeply insulted with the way he generalized youth activities in this town. The only words that I can think of to describe Mr. Warren's "book" are insensitive, misinformed, and irresponsible. Don't waste your time or money on this piece of trash, this man deserves nothing less.
