1.0 out of 5 stars Ann Rule forgot to do her research on the book!, 13 Jan 1999
By A Customer
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.

1.0 out of 5 stars This book was poorly researched and contains lies, 4 Jan 1999
By A Customer
From a personal view point, as one of the characters mentioned in the book, I find the lack of research in Ms Rule's book to be frightening and most certainly careless. There are at least two points in the story that are bold face lies. I am shocked that a professional author of this genre would publish without making the effort to complete her research. Many people's lives were destroyed by this tragic episode, one of which was mine and it saddens me to think that there are people reading this that only casually know me and will now begin to see me as the evil woman who "drove" a good man to rob banks. There is more to this story than Ms. Rule has allowed her readers to see and some of her informants have decieved her.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gripping story of talented individuals, 12 July 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The End of the Dream: And Other True Cases (True Crime Files) (Paperback)
This is the first book of Ann Rule's that I have read, and it will not be the last. Amazing story of a group of young individuals who were all talented at their chosen endeavour. Unfortunately, Scott Scurlock got bigger than his boots, and dragged others into his plans. The sorrowful thing about it is that it left 2 other lives devastated - Steve Meyers and Mark Biggins.

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.
