I have heard about this book from my boyfriend, who also thinks its an amazing book. I would recommend this book to anyone who is 15 and older, only because of the violence and etc.. I know you will like it.. it will move you like nothing else has before..

Life With Billy

I haven't read the book but saw the movie made from it on "True Stories" yesterday. The ending left me puzzled. It showed a car sitting out in the middle of nowhere and then it showed a church, with women holding lit candles and the picture of Jane on an altar. They talked about Jane and things she'd said, it seemed like a memorial service. Did she die??????

Shocking

Once I started reading "Life With Billy" I could not put it down. I find it hard to believe that one person, Billy, could be so cruel, not only to his wife but to his own child and his wife's by a previous marriage. I am glad that the book was written because so many others have read it and have come out of the closet as far as getting out of abusive relationships themselves. It is a very sad and frightening book, but one that had to be written. I feel the author did an excellent job. It is very well written, easy to follow and understand.
