1.0 out of 5 starsA joke
By veganfortheenvironment on November 13, 2008
Format: Paperback
This book denigrates the many hard working people out there trying to stop child abuse. It paints the mother as good and virtuous, and the child care people as a bunch of boozy floozies with no morals. This is ridiculous. No child care worker ever took a child away because of spanking, that's just pure hysteria. But hitting children is wrong and speaking out against it, whether by child care workers or neighbors or anyone else, is the brave, noble and yes moral thing to do.

1.0 out of 5 starsWaste of paper
By B. Monroe on June 10, 2006
Format: Paperback
I've read some really great books in my life and some not so great and rarely do I come across a book that provokes such emotion that I feel compelled to write a review. However, I can't exactly say I read this book because, for the sake of my sanity, I never finished it. Not only was the storyline development exaggerated and biased, but the writing was immature and insubstantial. Of course there are things that can go wrong within the CPS system, but to publish a story that is so grossly exaggerated and inaccurate is actually an enormous disservice to everyone. Just like there is free speech for an author to write a book like this, there is also power of choice. And although I wasted my money, I'm not going to waste my time finishing this book.

2.0 out of 5 starsLaughably bad
By defenestration on May 9, 2016
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I gave it two stars because it's laughably bad, so at least you can laugh as you cringe. This book is just a giant scare tactic to convince Christian parents that CPS is dangerous and will do whatever they can to remove your children.

3.0 out of 5 starsNot the best book ever written, not the worst
By Jessica Robinson on January 20, 2010
Format: Paperback
I'll attempt to keep my thoughts simple...this book was just ok...It's too far fetched (who really sues CPS & goes the whole way to the Supreme Court)and I didn't agree with how it was suddenly ok for Peter & Gwen to marry as soon as Gordon kicked the bucket, but it did make for an easy read.

5.0 out of 5 starsOutstanding Book with a Terrible Title!
By A Customer on August 25, 1999
Format: Paperback
Almost didn't read this book because of the title -- but glad that I did. Farris provides a thought provoking account of today's court system using a storyline that was realistic -- and his research compelled me look for other books by him.

5.0 out of 5 starsAWESOME!!!
By A Customer on September 26, 1999
Format: Paperback
This book is soo good. I usually hate to read, but one of my best friends told me to read this so I did. I couldn't put it down. If you are a Christian you'll especially like it and if you're not, maybe it will encourage you to become one. This book makes you want to keep reading and actually makes reading fun and interesting even though it sounds close to impossible. I highly recommend this book to everyone. It is sooo good!

5.0 out of 5 starsPage turner from one end to the other!!!
By A Customer on August 27, 1999
Format: Paperback
I put off reading this book for quite awhile for various reasons. Mistake--big mistake! This is without question one of the best books I have ever read! It's an absolute shame that (1) more people don't know about this book, and that (2) Michael Farris hasn't written more novels. Just be sure you have plenty of time available before you decide to read it because you simply will not be able to put it down until the last page has been read!!

5.0 out of 5 starsDon't pass this one by!
By A Customer on January 16, 2000
Format: Paperback
Having read many articles by Michael Farris I was anxious to read this novel. I was NOT in the least bit disappointed. This is a gripping tale that keeps you bound until the end. I highly recommended that you read it and pass it on and tell that person to pass it on as well. People need to be informed about how the government and it's agencies can turn situations around to their benefit. Michael Farris's work as a lawyer who is trying to protect the traditional family has surely put him in many similar circumstances as those portrayed in "Anonymus Tip". This tells me that this book is an acurate portrayal of what's really going on. I'm looking forward to reading his next work.
