informative

Very good, sound advice that came in handy while shopping! After listening was more alert of surroundings and evaded creeps following me in grocery store.

nancy thank you

i loved every second of it. thank you nancy. your an inspiration to me and my family .

Dense sad but helpful

I am impressed with the book. It was hard to listen to sad stories but that is how we learn.

Format too triggering -

I very much respect and appreciate Nancy Grace and I was happy to buy this book but the format is absolutely too grueling for me.

There are hours and hours of stories that many I have akready endured over the years in news magazines and on television and she starts off each chapter by giving you a lengthy grueling recap of hideous crimes and that is not why I bought the book. I don't feel it's needed to recap grueling hideous crimes from the past.

I'm interested to be empowered by the information she could offer - instead I felt traumatized. Triggered PTSD.

Towards the end of each chapter you get a pile of ideas which are basically common sense and also good reminders and some tips are new but I'm really disappointed in this format and it was traumatizing to try to get through it and I'm trying to empower my safety, not terrorize it.

The book did not deliver what I was hoping to obtain.

Left me wanting

It was more like reading headlines and I really wanted some in-depth look in the killers, the investigations etc. I felt it was just high level news stories and maybe that was the intent but I was looking for a True Crime format. I didnt bother to finish.
