Abandoned Prayers: Murder, the Amish, and Little Boy Blue Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Incredibly disturbing and terribly sad, but very well written. "

" While I really enjoyed the story itself, I did not care for the writing of this book. I think it could have been cut in half if the author had stuck to the story itself and not the underlying sexual relations of Eli Stutzman. This is the second book by this author I have read and I think his style is a bit all over the place. I think it'll be the last of his I read. "

" This was my first Gregg Olsen true crime book, and I found it fascinating to follow the crimes of a former Amishman. In fact, it would not surprise me if he committed crimes that were never proven or discovered yet. Gregg is one of the top true crime writers of his generation. "

" Very sad read. Eli Stutzman was an incredibly sick man and poor Danny must be one of God's very special angels now! "

" One of the saddest books I have ever read. "

" Not as well written as Deep Dark and way too many sex details, but a good read. Also, why the title change? Not really any Amish secrets--just a wacko! "

" Id rec this to ne1. if uve neva read tru crime b4 start wit this one. i'm only 13 and got a real buzzzzz out of it. theres som weirdy peeps out there! gregg olsen is fab "

" Such a sad and disturbing story. It was told extremely well, and really let a person see what Eli Stutzman was like behind the facade he often put on. An unforgettable story that will undoubtedly stick with me for a while. Can't wait to read more books by this author. "

" Good story, not always well written. Some passages were so unclear I completely couldn't understand. "

" This book is so shocking,painful yet it keeps in in awe reading it.Wonderful writing. "

" Somewhat interesting, definitely sad. Especially since the guy who left such a trail of destruction in his wake is now out of prison. "

" eye opener on murder, sex, and the amish beliefs and way of living that lifestyle and being raised with very strict beliefs not for ones with weak stomachs very graphic "

" just couldn't get into it...didn't finish "

" A very well written true crime book. While I am always saddened by what has truly happened, I enjoy reading this genre to try to help me understand what makes villians the way they are. "

" Very shocking and sad read about a former Amish man who appears to have turned into a serial killer. Interesting reading about the Amish culture and how some struggle against their rigid beliefs. "

" This was an excellent true crime novel. However, I found the writer's obsession with the fact that Eli was gay odd. The writer focuses on this part of the story much more than necessary. "

" I do have a fondness for true crime, but this I found particularly difficult to read. Anyone who takes the life of their own child, deserves to rot. "

" I read this book awhile back and I still can remember it. It is such sad, sad story! I could have cried! "
