Summary: Are you there alone? by Suzanne O'Malley
Comment: A true story exceptionally well written. Many kudos for Suzanne O'Malley for her courage of putting Andrea Yates tragic story on paper. The amount of investigative research and just plain leg work that went into this book along with Miss O'Malley's compassion for Andrea gives me hope that there are still some people out there who care. If there were more people of O'Malley's caliber possibly Andrea would be home taking care of her beautiful five babies, taking her medicine and coping with every day life.

Summary: An Important Book
Comment: Are You There Alone? is an important book. Suzanne O'Malley has written a page-turner that not only is an excellent journalistic account of the tragedy and trial of Andrea Yates, but she has also shown that proper phsychiatric care could probably have prevented the tragedy. The great value of this book is that it doesn't just give the facts about the tragedy, but it informs readers how they can take action to try to prevent similar future tragedies. Few books in the past about murderers (In Cold Blood and The Executioner's Song) have given such insight and given such good information about how to become involved. Read the book and get involved.
Rating: 4
Summary: For the information...
Comment: I gave the book four stars because of the information packed into it, and the fact that it reveals a lot about the trial and how Andrea got screwed over by the prosecution (*a big part of the prosecution's case was based on an Law and Order episode that never existed--they said that Andrea watched this episode, about a mentally ill woman who kills her kids, and got ideas from it). However, it is boring and not a quick read at all. Suzy Spencer's "Breaking Point" is an easier read, but is not as thorough. This one gives more details as to how and why the kids were killed, while the other has a lot more on the previous life of the Yates' family. Both have their strong points.
Overall, I would probably recommend Breaking Point. Most of the 'extra' stuff this one provides can be found on CNN.
And, unfortunately, there are no pictures in this novel. Mary isn't even shown on the cover, so if you're relying solely on this novel, it's hard to picture her. She, and brothers Noah, John, Luke and Paul were beautiful children. This book could've been better had it included some pictures, simply to give the readers some illustration.
