Nothing new

Interesting listen not much the documentaries don’t already cover. Was keen for this one but am disappointed.

a little dull

I was eagerly hoping to discover new information, or more than we already know. It was the same story we've learned about it in the news, with a personal touch by Gypsy.

profiting from heinous crime

I liked that I could compare the actual on-going proven lies against what was written in the book. So many contradictions in the book compared to facts that are proven with receipts. I find the book disturbing due to GR willingness to portray her life as a victim. Legal documents plus words coming straight from GR mouth amaze it clear to all who read the book that GR is a pathological liar. The book is poorly read also. I wouldn't waste my money if you're looking for the truth.

all Gypsy does is lie, lie, lie

This book is full of lies! Gypsy's story of abuse has been proven false many times. She herself contradicts herself so much and is always changing her story... she can't keep up with her own lies and is now profiting off of her killing her own mother. Funny how she left out the part about her chromosome disorder in the audio book 🤔 the chromosome disorder microdeletion 1q21.1 explains the few surgeries she had.
If you want the actual truth about her case, look up Becca Scoops on YouTube.

truly disgusting

I've followed the Gypsy Rose story since the first headlines after her arrest. I always felt sorry for her, not ever condoning her taking her mothers life, but feeling like she was a true victim. After her release I began to question her as her behaviour showed she had no remorse for anyone including her mother, yet I still made excuses that her circumstances of course would never result in someone with any real emotional maturity and she was still learning. Yet the longer she is out of prison the more abhorrent her behaviour is towards anyone she gets near, using and discarding people and gloating about her bad behaviour and clear absence of ability to have empathy for anyone but herself; a true narcissistic psychopath.

Then I found Becca Scoops, and it changed my entire view. she kept doing interviews and her TV show and her story would change each time becoming more dramatic, her mother more vilinized and her the perpetual victim.

In her interview with Dr Phil she claimed she had 30 surgeries, now she claims 100! yet her medical records show she had 4 minor procedures for her necessary chromosome depletion. Yet not a single lawyer will take her on as a client for any medical malpractice (any lawyers dream as it would be a huge payday). Not to mention Dr's don't do procedures because a mother says to do it, they base it off clear necessity due to medical test results. How could one woman trick over 100 surgeons (as well as nurses and other medical professionals that aid in a surgery)? What a blatant lie yet like a true narcissistic thinks she can say anything and she will be believed.

In this book she contradicts herself numerous times, often within mere sentences of herself. The graphic and unnecessary details of clearly fabricated tales yet again to paint her as the victim where as in truth she took her own mothers life, she is a killer.

How is anything she writes to be believed when her story changes dramatically each time she tells it despite the fact she has a paper trail of her lies; countless interviews and a reality TV show.

I'm horrified for Claudine's memory and her families reputation that Gypsy taints with her falsehoods.

I'm glad I used a credit for this book and did not pay her any money to listen to such garbage. poorly written filled with countless obvious fabrications. The other authors on this book will never be able to untarnish their reputation like all others that give this grifter a platform.

Half of this is full of lies, and she contradicts herself so many times

The whole thing is full of lies and she has continued to change her story to many times. this makes her story even more confusing because what she has already said in the past has now changed. why do you mean you said it a month before you killed her then once again said it was 2 years? way to many knots and kinks in this story. felt more like listening to a fiction story from school. and her voice is annoying, get someone else to read it

Reads like a soap opera

Story time with Gypsy! Read between the lines and you’ll see the lies in her story. Glad I didn’t waste my money on this rubbish.

Profound Insights

I could not stop listening to this story. Gypsy has done an exceptional job of sharing her story with profound insights. This is a deeply vulnerable exposition shared candidly. Ending with deeply insightful truths that we’re all victims and perpetrators in certain areas of life. I learnt to show grace to others as we learn from their stories.

Every Half Truth Is A Whole Lie

To be a good liar you must have a good memory & If you tell the truth you don’t have to remember anything. Gypsy’s first lie in this book is saying it’s the way she remembered things. Gypsy wanted the reader to believe her childhood & young adult years were so horrific she “had no choice” but to have her mother brutally murdered. This was despite being 24 & physically able to call a cab or walk out of the house and never return, She groomed & manipulated Nick Godejohn, a disabled autistic man, for 2yrs, then blackmailed him to ensure he went through with the murder. Immediately after her release from prison she publicly stated she didn’t identify herself as a murderer because she didn’t do “the act of the kill” This statement demonstrates she has not taken any accountability as do her consistent efforts to profit financially from the murder. In the book Gypsy describes DeeDee calling out “Gypsy, Gypsy help me” while gurgling from a pool of blood which had risen into her mouth as she was dying. A cold & callous sociopath, effortlessly narrates this as though she was talking about the weather. The book is poorly and clumsily written & jumps around in every chapter. Don’t buy the book. It’s being shared on social media. Don’t give $1 to Gypsy who has been living the high life since her release while her co defendant sits in a cell with little hope of release. Instead, send a small donation to him so he might have a few things he would not normally be able to especially now.

Good to hear her story in her own words

I'd followed Gypsy's story now and then over the years and it was good to hear it in her own words
The book was written articulately and read beautifully

She reflects on her behaviour, on the issues her mother had and why.

I can see why she felt she had no other way out and I feel sad she was let down by so many professionals that should have seen her
