Every Mother's Nightmare - The Murder of James Bulger Paperback – October 7, 2011

Whatever killed James Bulger of these two evil little boys Jon Venables and Robert Thompson then James Bulger is dead in this book the best book came out in the year of 1993. Reading it you want to read it then it will be the best book ever.

Good in depth account of the James Bulger murder. I would recommend that you get this along with My James, written by his father. The two books together make an amazing account of the tragic death of an innocent little boy, by two ten year olds.

Yes, it’s badly edited, but the writing is good enough to have kept me reading on instead of just ditching it. The case was horrific and the book conveys that without grinding the awful details into your brain. Not the best true crime book I’ve ever read but far from the worst.

It was as I had hoped, Thank you.

On Friday, February 12th, 1993 two year old James Bulger disappeared from a crowded shopping mall in Bootle, England. What followed was the most heinous of crimes committed by two 10 year old boys whose actions shocked the entire world with their brutality. Mark Thomas, a reporter for Britain's Press Association, followed the story up to the sentencing and punishment of the young criminals. This book, whilst not going into graphic detail of the crime, attempts to analyse not only the reasoning behind this crime but also the degeneration of youth and what future generations may NOT look forward to in terms of public safety.While Ralph and Denise Bulger still work through the grief of losing their son, society has to wonder if this type of juvenile recklessness might become a growing trend. 'Every Mother's Nightmare' touches on the reasons for this - broken homes, lack of parental discipline, lack of positive role models, lack of moral fiber in both homes and schools, and of course, a severe lack of positive education. Still, the question remains, did these two pre-pubescents do what they did out of some inability to distinguish right from wrong or were they really just products of their environment? Despite being tried in Bootle's South Sefton Magistrate's Court and showing no remorse for their actions, other than distress over their capture, did they ever understand the ramifications of their actions or how this crime affected everyone involved?The reader discovers that not only were they not concerned about future consequences but that their actions were carefully pre-meditated and that, when questioned, neither was willing to admit guilt but rather place the blame upon the other. The reader also has to make their own judgements in this case as Thomas, true to journalistic integrity, maintains straight facts without taking sides - something to be commended when writing about such a despicable crime.As previously mentioned, this book does not go into the gruesome details of the death of little James Bulger but is still shocking enough to move even the most ardent fan of true crime (such as myself). But don't read it for shock value - read it as a stunning expose of the collapse of morality and the loss of innocence.

This is an interesting book and a harrowing tale. The trouble is the Kindle edition is full of typographical mistakes which is atrocious considering the retail price. Nearly every page contains a spelling error or typo. Has anyone bothered to proof read this book before charging good money for it?

So annoyed at Amazon!!! I have wanted this book for years and finally purchased it as a gift to myself. Amazon should be ashamed for selling this book at full price when it is riddled with typos. Making it unreadable! The frustration with nearly every page is awful. SHAME ON YOU AMAZON.

I was really looking forward to reading this book...... But i can't! It has waaayyyy too many typos in it. Im actually really annoyed that i paid almost $10 for a book that i can't read! It should've been proof-read before being put up for sale!
