I thought there was nothing new to learn about this case after the deluge of media coverage. However, Mrs. Rocha did have information that was new, and of course her own personal view of what happened. She wrote with love and eloquence about her beautiful daughter. I think she was very fair and honest about her feelings about Scott, which amazed me. It was interesting to read about the bitter, vindictive nature of the Peterson family. I couldn't put the book down. It is a lovely tribute to her daughter and grandson, I loved it!!

I kept up with Laci's disappearance from the time it first aired on the news around Christmas. I was obsessed with the whole thing, and this is the only book I was willing to purchase out of respect for Sharon Rocha and her family. Sharon, you touched my heart like never before. Scott Peterson just makes me sick, and his family should be ashamed at how they treated the Rocha's. I am not a big fan of reading to be honest, and I couldn't put this book down. I read the entire thing in less than 3 days, which for me in flat out unheard of. If you had any interest in this tragedy, or even if you didn't for that matter, this book will be one you're glad you read. You will learn things you've never heard before, and you'll see why the jury had no problem convicting Scott beyond a reasonable doubt. He was guilty! Laci and Conner will NEVER be forgotten, nor will the Rocha family. Someone needs to mail Scott a copy and force him to read it!

David Gilmour - On An Island

David Gilmour's album - On An Island

David Gilmour’s solo career hasn’t exactly been creatively restless; this is but the third album by the Pink Floyd guitarist, and first in 18 years. But that seemingly lackadaisical career ethos hasn’t prevented Gilmour from producing some of his finest work here, an album whose soaring, lyrical guitar lines will be familiar to Floyd fans, yet one also blessed by often surprising nuances and delicate musical textures. Gilmour’s Division Bell collaborator Polly Samson is credited with most of the writing, helping conjure a moody, texturally rich "island" that’s as much musical as it is personally and lyrically metaphorical. "Castellorizon," the impressionistic opening instrumental collage, presages much of what’s to come in subtle ways, with Gilmour’s emotionally-charged guitar lines climbing into realms usually staked out by contemporary Jeff Beck.

Gilmour’s choice of collaborators is equally compelling, from the evocative orchestrations of Polish classical modernist Zbigniew Preisner and expected contributions from Floyd (Richard Wright and proto-Pink mate Rado "Bob" Klose) to a host of guest turns that span both decades and styles: Georgie Fame, Phil Manzanera, Jools Holland, Caroline Dale and Robert Wyatt. The title track is graced by the stately harmonies of David Crosby and Graham Nash while the instrumental "Then I Close My Eyes" spins a hypnotic, bayou-meets-boho ethos where Dale’s gentle cello lines meet the melancholy cornet flourishes of Wyatt to challenge the very notions of genre itself. "This Heaven" finds Gilmour in unexpected R&B territory, weaving playful riffs with ‘60s London scenester Fame’s Hammond organ and finding its lyrical spirituality in simple, personal intimacy, a subtext that wafts through the upbeat airiness of "The Blue" to the spare "Smile," spinning a surprisingly romantic elegy that co! mes satisfyingly full circle on the closing "Where We Start." No man may be an island, but Gilmour has nonetheless crafted a rewarding artistic oasis on this, his finest and most gently personal album. -- Jerry McCulley
