Helpful Score: 3
This was the best true crime story I have ever read. Its absoluetly disgusting what 4 teenage girls did to this poor little girl over jealously. It disgusts me even more that two of them are out of prison now. They should have stayed behind bars the rest of their lifes. Its an excellent read!

CHARACTERS Shanda Sharer -- 12 year old girl
COMMENTS It is rare that I read True Crime but this was chosen for a book club read. It was deeply disturbing, graphic and so tragic. The psychological motivation of these teenaged girls, was fascinating and confounding -- I think the best answer was would any of them have committed such an horrendous crime alone -- NO. But the synergy between the main personalities of Melissa and Laurie created an evil force that went beyond any limits they could imagine solo.
