Gorgeous Disaster: The Tragic Story of Debra Lafave
Book Description
Told by the one person best qualified to tell it, this is the story of a 24-year-old teacher who seemed to be on the Golden Path to the good life but went so far wrong, and how her decision impacted not only her own life, but her husband, her victim, and many others. Reader Reviews
I was really looking forward to reading this book, but was a little disappointed in it. I agree with "DF"'s comments. The book comes across as a little self-serving on Owen LaFave's part. He paints himself as the long-suffering good guy of a husband, which he may be, but there are generally 3 sides to every story - his, hers and the truth (not minimizing what Ms. LaFave did). Also, Mr. LaFave needs to purchase a thesaurus if he plans on writing any more books - the use of the word "gorgeous" becomes trite and tedious. There are many other words that can be used to convey that something or someone is appealing to the eye. Overall, it is a pretty good book, but it smacks of using his personal adversity to make a few bucks. |
