Burned Alive: A Shocking True Story of Betrayal, Kidnapping, and Murder

The death of Kim Antanakas was the kind of murder that gave people the chills It made anyone who heard or read about it cringe! I consider this book to be a well read true crime story.No one could have been able to persuade me to believe otherwise.Untill I stumbled upon a site called Joshua Torres VS Injustice After I reviewed the entire website and reread the actual documents,I was left with a foul taste in my mouth. Be naïve of the facts that surround this case.Mr Crowley has completely neglected factual documents with text book rhetoric,concealing a possible miscarriage of justice with a lethal story,blinding his readers from the facts!I recommend you read joshuatorresvsinjustice.com and read the miscarriage of justice!

I have not read the book because it would be too painful. But I knew Kim and her father and they truely loved each other, he is a wonderful man with a loving relationship with Kim. All of his pain and suffering is too much for a father to have to go thru. Kim was not spoiled and was a sweetheart and did not deserve this but is with our Father in Heaven with perfect love and peace and she deserves that. May God bless her father and family.

As true crime books go, this is definitely a good one. It is a very intersting plot-line with a totally distasteful villain. There is enough interesting material to keep my attention through all 345 pages, which canmnot be said for all true crime books. The author is a newspaper reporter who covered the case and it is very well written.

I couldn't put this book down-although a horrible story, it was written in such a gripping manner! I will look for more of Crowley's books.

Very fast paced and detailed accounting of a truely horrific crime. Clearly expressed the human side of this family tragedy and all those who were involved in solving such a tough case. Overall, a very absorbing book. Kudos to the author.
