Product Description
When news broke of three-year-old Caylee Anthony’s disappearance from her home in Florida in July 2008, there was a huge outpouring of sympathy across the nation. The search for Caylee made front-page headlines. But there was one huge question mark hanging over the case: the girl’s mother. As the investigation continued and suspicions mounted, Casey became the prime suspect. In October, based on new evidence against Casey—her erratic behavior and lies, her car that showed signs of human decomposition—a grand jury indicted the young single mother. Then, two months later, police found Caylee’s remains a quarter of a mile away from the Anthony home. Casey pled not guilty to charges of murder in the first degree, and she continues to protest her innocence. Did she or didn’t she kill Caylee? This is the story of one of the most shocking, confusing, and horrific crimes in modern American history.

 Good for those who haven't followed the case online June 16, 2010
T. Johnson
Since I've followed the case online pretty closely, this book contained absolutely nothing I didn't already know.
However, for those who have not followed the case closely online, it is a pretty good overview of what we knew about the case up to the publication date.
The bigger problem, however, is that discovery continues to be released, so the book is by no means exhaustive. In fact, it is already outdated, and was likely outdated even before it was released.
All in all, I think it was released entirely too soon, but it is still an interesting read, and reasonably well written. I cannot recommend it, however, to anyone who has been following the case on the internet.
 great for anyone who hasnt read the public documents online May 2, 2010

As many did, I also followed this case from the date it went public. I also read all of the documents as they became public - as they were all over the internet when they did.
I only gave 3 stars because reading this book was just like reading those documents - and they were free. About the only thing I saw that wasn't public (or that were & I missed them) were the emails between Cindy & her brother & mother.
I was hoping for more.
It didn't appear to me that the author interviewed a single person involved, but instead did what all of us could do ourselves - copy from the documents available all over the internet. I was very disappointed because of that.

I thought I knew everything about this case from the media -- I was wrong. This book was full of new information.

I don't know where all of these people are getting their ratings from. Did we read the same book? The only possible reason this book could be a "best seller" is because of how notorious the case is. I have been following this case very closely, and am a huge true crime reader. I am also just an avid reader. This book was simply all of the information I had already read on the internet mashed together. Nothing new, no surprises no insight. I found it tedious to read page after page of law enforcement interviews verbatim--easily accessible from docstoc.com. There was little if any author input or insight and any insight or input given was delivered strangely and in a strange word order that had me re-reading sentences to make sure I understood. In addition to this the author's sentences were very clipped and short. There was no flow, no eloquence, no suspense. It is truly one of the worst books I've read, and it is a shame because I so looked forward to it--in fact, I followed the case so closely, I COULD HAVE WRITTEN IT BETTER! I'm sorry, but I feel like I wasted $7.00. In all fairness, perhaps my distaste for the book was in part due to my knowledge of the case. Maybe those who have no knowledge might enjoy the book. I wouldn't recommend it, but if you want the "cliff notes" to the case, this is the book for you.
