Publisher's summary

The trial of 25-year-old Casey Anthony for the death of her daughter, Caylee, was the most sensational case in America since O.J. Simpson’s—with a verdict every bit as stunning. After being acquitted in July 2011, Ms. Anthony instantly became one of the most infamous women in the world.

Dr. Keith Ablow distills tens of thousands of pages of documents he has obtained, his behind-the-camera, one-on one interviews, and his decades of experience in the world of forensic psychiatry to make sense of a woman whose defense attorney described her as an innocent victim of childhood sexual abuse, but the state insisted was a cold-blooded murderer.

Inside the Mind of Casey Anthony delivers an incisive, riveting way of understanding this troubled young woman.

My review

I couldn’t finish this book. I couldn’t decide if the author was more entranced by how Casey’s father was entranced by his daughter in the delivery room or is in love with Casey herself. The book started ok but he kept repeating the same concepts over and over again. I finally had enough and quit listening.

Pretty good.

I found it very interesting and had trouble putting it down. Ablow puts a LOT of his personal opinion into the analysis. He allows the reader to see Casey at a different angle. It was also too long. He repeats himself constantly. I got sick of several of his catchphrases. Overall I liked it, and I feel like I understand Casey better than before.

Repetitive

Interesting perspective of an obviously troubled young lady. He was too repetitive for my tastes

A Unique Point of View

I really enjoyed this author's point of view, as I am a person who always wants to know "why" we do things. I can, however, understand why some readers are unimpressed. It's more of a psychology book than a true crime story, so if you are appreciative of the science you will enjoy this author's take, but maybe not if you are uninterested in theories about why people do bad things. I highly recommend it for lovers of all things psychology, but if you're looking for a story about the crime itself, this is not the book for you.

Gross

What disappointed you about Inside the Mind of Casey Anthony?

Incredibly repetitive and based on no personal experience with the Anthony family. It's all conjecture, guessing, playing pretend. Author seemed bizarrely obsessed with talking about Casey's birth of Caylee, to the point that I physically cringed every time it was mentioned, and it was CONSTANTLY mentioned.

Interesting take on Casey' mental health.

I have to agree with the other reviews this "DR" was obsessed w Casey's lady parts. I don't agree with how he placed all blame with George and Cindy.

They could have put Casey out of their home when they found out she was pregnant. They obviously enjoyed their grand daughter very much. Having another mouth to feed in a home where the budget was already stressed, had to make things that much more difficult. DR Ablow didn't really get into the psychology of why the Anthonys who obviously knew Casey never worked chose to look the other way. Beyond saying Casey would take Caylee away. Where would she have gone? She never supported herself.
Casey is indeed a pathological liar why the author would continue to think Casey was telling the truth about the molestation and continue ad nauseam to being it up almost caused me to stop listening to the book.
I wouldn't waste a credit on this book. I don't recommend.

Blame the mother!

Any additional comments?

It was a good read, but the author's demonization of Casey's parents got unbearable after a while. What to expect of a psychiatrist... of course he blame it all on the mother (in this case, Cindy Anthony). Anyway, that aside, I was able to understand Casey's behaviors and crazy lies a little better.

Changed the way I felt about Casey Anthony

Where does Inside the Mind of Casey Anthony rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I highly recommend.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The insight in Casey's life and especially Cindy's well documented behavior was incredibly interesting and made me understand Casey.

If you could give Inside the Mind of Casey Anthony a new subtitle, what would it be?

The history of CMA that killed the future of CMA

Any additional comments?

Don't be surprised if you have a slightly different take on Casey, Americas most hated woman, after reading this book. At the very least, I understood Casey and truly began to feel sympathy for her while hoping she can recover and get the help she so needs before she has another child.
