Would like to read more on the pageant industry! Heard today that the Pageant director is writing a new book on pageants only. Can't wait!

I forced myself to read this book. It is filled with gramatical errors and sentence fragments. Several of the facts are wrong. Doesn't the editor make corrections like this before he publishes the book? Like the police in Boulder, I do not agree that Burke was responsible for the death of JonBenet. She was made up, dressed up, and aged up. But in spite of all of the things that were done to her to make her "look" pretty, she was the prettiest child that I have ever seen in my life. Her beauty was given to her by God. I have read nearly every book about the murder of JonBenet Ramsey. This one is very poorly written, perhaps the poorest.I would give this zero stars if I could.

This is, doubtlessly, one of the most poorly written books I've ever read. It is apparent to me that the author threw the book together as the funding started to dry up. The theory posed in the book was interesting, but precious little facts and evidence are given to support it. It is pure speculation at best, and poorly written speculation at that.

I bought this book thinking it would be an insider's account of the child pageant industry. It does have "insider's" information but instead it's focus is on a fictionalized trial of the killer(s) of Jon Bonet Ramsey. Eleanor Von Duyke makes too good a living off kiddie pageants to ever be truly forthcoming about the industry.Worse, I found the book incredibly boring. I cannot recommend this book to anyone interested in the Jon Benet Ramsey case or learning about the damage of beauty pageants to the children involved.

I found the book lame. And I find all these "give us more" reviews a little suspect. Could it be a little ballot-box stuffing? Only a beauty pageant pro would come up with such a devious idea!

I never wanted to believe that Jonbenet possibly could have been murdered because of her participating in pageants. Now I'm not so sure. Duct taping, breast implants on 12 year olds, false hair pieces, sexy modeling, and flaunting the little girl all makes sence! Wouldn't that turn on a little boy? Especially if she was getting all the attention and him not? The pageant director and JonBenet have alot in common, the only difference is that one lived, the other didn't. I wonder if JonBenet ever told her mother. I feel this child has been sexually abused for a long time. I have always wanted to enter my little girl in a pageant, now I'm not so sure. If a little girl is pretty, why can't she just win in a simple little party dress? It sounds to me that you have to have the Ramsey money to participate in these so called events!
