I hated this book!!! Tristan was a bastard! He raped Bettina over and over through most all of the whole book! The rest of the book he treated her worse than a dog he was brutally training to his every command! No gentle caring, love or anything else that could be even counted as respect! Bettina, I am sure showed signs of Stockholm Syndrome, she went from month's of hating Tristan for his rapes and physical and mental abuse to love towards the end of the book! Her Mother and her nurse were no better, telling her to love and except him, these things happen in life. Bah! I Wouldn't recommend this book to my worst enemy!

I was stupid enough to rent this film because of all the famous people in it.  BIG MISTAKE!  This movie was obnoxious, offensive and sophomoric.  If I didn't know any better, I would've thought this was written by a 5th Grade Boy with all the "Potty Humor" in this fiasco of a film!  PLEASE do yourselves a favor and don't rent this movie.  Use the money for something more useful.

Give it a 1/4 star, at best! I wish Amazon allowed fractions below 1 star because this guy deserves it.

This 'author' seems to think that stringing a lot of profanity and inhumanity sells. I hope to God it doesn't, because of what it says about people.  This author inserts the names of authors and their titles (i.e., steals) to hitch-hike onto their search engine tags.  Copy-right infringement? Brand infringement? Who knows?

Why does Amazon allow this? How long will it be before this semi-human stops leeching onto established authors. Give me a break! Please!

Seriously, as soon as I was finished torturing myself I chucked this one directly into the trash so that there was one less copy of it in circulation.
The problems are so pervasive that the book is a total failure.  For a popular history, the narrative writing is poorly executed and never engages the reader.  For a work of any type of history, the research is poor (looking through the notes and bibliography many of the leading names in discipline are missing), and most troubling - THERE IS A FICTIONAL CHARACTER!!!! I understand it's meant to be a composite of the "typical" pirate, but NEVER under ANY circumstances should a fictional character of any type show up in a supposed work of history.

Read some of the other reviews for discussion of the utterly horrible history in this travesty.
But also be aware that the falsification of history is presented with hateful bigotry.
Christians are rapists, murderers, anti-science idiots. They want to kill and oppress.
 A cliche from old westerns was the guy in a black hat is a villain.
In this movie, if a character is identified as a Christian, he is about to rape or kill or steal.
  I do not know if this bigotry is in the book. But it pervades this movie.

Amazon needs to change the star system to include Zero and Less than Zero stars.
This would be a Minus 5-Star.

This book reminded me of a book by Nick Pron on the Schoolgirl Murderers Karla Homolka and Paul Bernardo. Pron was accused of actually watching the tapes Bernardo made of the rape and murder of two 15 year old girls. It is more than obvious that he did, because of the highly detailed play-by-play narration. The level of detail in that book was repulsive, and read more like a snuff film porno script than anything else.

Until I Get Caught is just as disgusting. I just think it is wrong to use detailed accounts of rapes as a hook for the book. Reggie is a 100% scumbag of the highest order, and is like all sex offenders: not treatable. There is only one cure for them, and that is a bullet to the back of their heads. This book should convince you of that.

Unfortunately Amazon.com reviews don't have the ability to select minus stars, if so; I would rate this movie as a minus five.

This so-called `movie', after entering the theater, is compulsory verbal pornography (to be polite). The `R' rating of this should be `XXX' (or higher).

The visual pornography is massive but somewhat less than the verbal sewage spewed over the audience.

The script is of the quality of a high school dropout who flunked English because of inability to produce educated verbiage (that could accomplish the same thing as the verbal sewage in this juvenile movie) but was paid by a financial donor to insult and degrade humanity.

It did have a Friend story line - at least something of value. The world ending, per biblical Revelation, was at another least something of a plot (the most of the evil monsters having their privates visually displayed (a classy movie enhancement!)). The one, where out of the blue, for no particular reason, a monster somehow gets into the safe house, without being noticed, with an visibly enlarged reproductive organ, somehow impregnates the male Jonah (a brilliant realism).

Direct, and by innuendo, male sexual activities `must be propelled upon!' audiences by lowly evolved juvenile male movie characters. I am not a woman but can imagine a woman of reasonable intelligence would think of this piece of Hollywood trash demeaning to them as well.

More audience pounding is the drug use, another Hollywood social enhancement for younger adults, viewing this abject refuse. An enrichment society needs in Hollywood's continuing downward spiral - thank you!

If those, in the audience, were in high school, or a tiny bit older, perhaps they laughed at the lowly, pathetic, sexual humor contrivances in this movie.

The only thing of interest, at all, I found was the actor's real names were used (and why not?).

The movie, outside the `friend' story line, was not funny, not laughable, insulting, demeaning and degrading. I am sure there are similar wretched, low life, movies out there I haven't seen (thank God) but this is the worst movie I have ever seen, in my entire life.

The only thing that made me laugh was the final pleasure when the credits came up.

If you saw "Pirates of Treasure Island", then you have a point of reference. This movie is as bad the "Pirates".

And it's based on the same idea: shoot some junk, then give it a title which is very similar to a popular great movie, and maybe some idiots, like me, will buy it accidentally. In this case they meant "Battle of Los Angeles", and I fell into a trap and bought this "Attack..." junk. Yes, JUNK is the best way to describe the movie.

I gave it four stars so more people would read this. But THIS BOOK IS A PIECE OF S***! OH MY GOD!! This Pressman clown is SUCH A HATER! Gah! Could he be more obviously trollish? Can you say attitude?? OH OOGIE BOOGIE WERNER WILL BRAIN WASH YOU AND SVENGALI ALL YOUR MOOLAH FROM YOU!!!!! AND THEN RAPE HIS DAUGHTER OR SOMETHING!!!!! What crap. badly written, biased as all hell, childishly hateful, basically written for gullible shut-ins who want someone to hate or fear. Pressman, Pressman, really? Get a life. Did you do it for the money? Were you desperate? Did your wife cheat on you or something and you needed someone to kick around? Jeez. Dude. No. Stop. Step away from the computer. Take a long vacation, take some acid, smoke some ganja, something, anything, just don't do social commentary or anything that requires distance from your opinions.

To say I'm upset, is putting it lightly about the time I've wasted reading this garbage. This book was terrible! I had to force myself to finish it before doing this review because I wanted to warn others how horrible it was before I finished. I wish I could give it NO stars because its not even worth the 1 I gave! First things first, this book was COMPLETELY all over the place. It jumped from one extreme to next. Everything was long and drawn out. I was so glad when they finally got to the part where she gets knocked over the head so some action could take place because I was beyond bored. Secondly, EVERYONE seemed to be completely incompetent and beyond stupid. From Uncle Lanier's three goons to Walt and his goons. No one seemed to be sure about what they were doing or what they wanted to do! It was a book full of idiots! I hope (God do I hope!) this is the last of this series. Kiki, I love you as a writer but this just was NOT it! I'm not sure if you were under a deadline and had to put this out but it was not good. It took me two weeks to finish this book and (trust me) I had to force myself to do it. I love to read so I normally finish a book within 1 day or 2 but this book...is two weeks of my life I wish I could get back! To all those that said this was a great book, I feel you're misleading people. Do not buy this! As a matter of fact, don't even read it for free because you will just be annoyed and aggravated like me. Kiki Swinson, do us all a favor and let Kira be!

How this insult to film-making, writing, story-telling, ever saw distribution is beyond me! It is sick, abusive, crude, disgusting, demented and offensive, and that's when it isn't boring beyond belief! The cruelty to animals was over the top, and too realistic to be faked (and there's no disclaimer that animals weren't harmed on screen, because it's cheaper to torture and kill a real animal than to hire CG or special effects). The credits are another sick joke, all the government money and facilities that went into making this crap, only goes to show how creatively tax money can be wasted. The big joke in this movie is on you, (and yes, it's on me) by getting suckering into wasting time watching it. Learned a valuable lesson, though: read the Amazon reviews BEFORE clicking the mouse! If I had, I wouldn't be writing this review, and I wouldn't have had an evening spoiled. I only hope my review, and other one-star reviews, save you from wasting your time.

Hidden within a compelling original premise - a rare, spontaneous vicious assault by a young pretty mother of an apparent complete stranger at the beach one day and the mystery and investigation to unravel why - is, simply put, an utterly perverse piece of vile misogynistic propaganda.  If degrading religion, sexualized conniving little girls, and incest appeals to you, by all means, this is your book.  Worse is this books all out assault on the rights of victims of sexual assault and domestic violence (most all of whom are women and children) - this author literally missed NO issue in this agenda:  The female victims here are calculated, slutty, vindictive, narcissistic, can't distinguish between reality and fantasy (false memory syndrome), they "wanted it" (even enjoying their own deaths), unrealistically physically overpowering of men, are just plain liars, and of course, have "daddy issues".  It's ALL here, folks!!!

Don 't waste your time on this massiver stinkeroo!

There is not one original idea in this mess. The "writers"  steal ideas from a half dozen classic English novels.
They combine them, and not at all successfully, into one big steaming pile.

What incredible arrogance to think they can "improve" these novels.

We end up with Frankenstein's monster, Dorian Grey, a Vampire, and God knows what else.... All existing at the same time in Victorian England. Add a cowboy sharpshooter, played by a semi comatose Josh Hartnett.  Then add  Eva Green playing one of the most repugnant females since Grace Jones annoyed Conan the Barbarian.

 The result is a joke which insists on pretending to be "art".

I can't believe I watched the whole thing! This is a HUGE load of pants! It's so bad it's on my top ten list of worst movies of all time. Joe Lara is a great actor but he was COMPLETELY wasted! Every other actor was just  plain awful. They were reduced to such garbage. The script and storyline are  seriously PADDED! And Joe looked like a major fag in that white leotard. I  must admit that the FX were decent,but the film is sooooooooooo terrible.  It's as boring as hell and is so heinous that it's laughable. The makers of  this movie should go to a maximum security facility and a million dollar  fine! The film is far too gory and the body count is WAY too high. What a  pathetic waste! Rated R-contains gruesome,gory violence,strong profanity  and a scene of strong sexuality.

Wow. Just...wow. Talk about showing full-blown, open contempt for one's own fans and film history in general. The ludicrous idea of releasing sub-par LASERDISC transfers from 1993 as BONUS features, while the subpar tinkertoy CGI-bastardized releases from yesteryear pose as the "main events", all the while everyone KNOWS that the restored crystal-clear footage is available for transfer as we speak, is a truly shameful and cynical way to treat your own fans, not to mention these milestones of cinema history. Everything, even the shoddy, fifth-grader photoshopped cover images screams "cheap & stingy" I mean, look at these ridiculous covers. So far, this is the most brazen attempt by George Lucas to cash in on his fans. This is just disgusting. Boycott this travesty.

I found this book to be a total waste of time and it actually made me angry. The midwife Tara had been gang raped not once but twice in her past but joked about it and laughed. I have never met a woman who had been raped  once that thought it was funny enough to laugh about at anytime, regardless  of coming to terms with what had happened to them, let alone having been  gang raped twice. She then went to say that Tara was unable to have  children due to a veneral disease contracted due to the rapes which she was  unaware that she had and so had gone untreated causing damage. Get  real..this woman is supposed to be a midwife and she didn't know that she  should have gotten checked out? Ms. Early does no help to the cause of  midwives here. I will avoid any books by this author in the future if this  is an example of her books!
