Format:Mass Market Paperback
From the NW Territory: how sad that the family and friends of Scott Scurlock would trivialize how he lived and how he died. Committing suicide is NOT an act of strength! He took advantage of his friends who are still in prison and paying the price for Scot's charismatic charm and leadership. There is no way to write how Scott lived, used his friends and then committed suicide to escape the consequences, in a way that would not hurt his family and friends. I have read many of Ann Rule's true crime books and found them to be objective and professional. In your pain try to be as objective as Ms. Rule obviously was.

I loved this book, while it did sounded as though Rule may have inserted some of her own thoughts and ideas while describing the robberies, events and characters in this book. Scurlock was the most interesting thing about the whole book. What was he going to do next. When would it end. It seemed as if it never would. After the introductions of the characters the book was rivetting and I could not put it down until I read every last word.

I was shocked when I read Rule's book. She apparently believed Kevin Meyers' story - hook, line and sinker! Anyone who knows Kevin (and I do) can tell you that he has misrepresented himself and Scurlock and the Scurlock family. I am appalled that Ann Rule did not take the time to substantiate any of his stories. I am dismayed at the way she has portrayed the Scurlock family. They are some of the most wonderful and caring people in this world. I think she owes them an apology! Also, the fact that she would present and claim that Kevin Meyer's story is fact, makes me wonder about her integrity. She has also gotten some of her crime facts wrong. I have personally read all of the official police reports and there is definitely differing evidence. This would be okay except she is presenting this book as fact. Anyone who reads this book should be aware of all of this.

Fascinating portrayal of a man who had it all & blew it all.
She's done it again. Ann Rule has told us a wonderful tale of how Scott went bad, gradually, inch by inch. A great read with detail to make his life very real to the reader.
