The Pages I've Turned [Book Reviews]

If You Tell by Gregg Olsen

Title: If You Tell

Author: Gregg Olsen 

Review: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 

 The stars are for the well-written true crime book. The description of the gruesome happenings is so vivid. It was as if I witnessed the victims' torture by their mother, aunt and friend. Shelly Knotek is truly a master manipulator. I got the urge to torture her while reading the book. She's evil. Satan lives in her. She shouldn't be released. 22 years in prison isn't enough. She should rot there and in hell! She was supposed to be released in 2022. That's bad news! 

 How can a mother torture her children? How? She wasn't fit to be a mother at all. She wasn't fit to be a wife. I think getting her married (she got married thrice. Imagine three times and the third stuck up for her. Disgusting!) was the root of all evil. She was already a pain in her teenage years. I blamed her father for trying to get rid of her by asking her first husband to marry her. Shelly's disturbing behavior in her teenage years should have been corrected first before everything else. Oh well, everybody thought getting married and having a baby would straighten her. But nope, it was the beginning of her evilness. Pyscho Shelly was then unstoppable. She isn't a human being. She's Satan's dearest sister! 😡😡😡 

 The moment I got finished reading this book, I looked her up online. I just can't believe what she did. You can't really judge someone by their appearance. I just found out they made her story into a TV show. I don't think I'd want to watch it. Reading about her evilness is enough. I don't want to delve deeper. I loathe her so much that I wish I stopped reading the book. Curiosity kills the cat, indeed. Fvck!
