KM's Paperback (PB)

[ShiningInLuz]

I think you’ve misunderstood.  Let’s try again.  If you had been Kate McCann how would you have made Madeleiene the main focus of the book?

As I'm not, that is a sterile question.

[Mr Gray]

I think you’ve misunderstood.  Let’s try again.  If you had been Kate McCann how would you have made Madeleiene the main focus of the book?

The book was written to raise funds... As it did as a best seller.... So the focus always was and is Madeleine

[Venturi Swirl]

As I'm not, that is a sterile question.

You criticse Kate for not making Madeleine the focus, so I’m wondering what you had hoped to read in the book about Madeleine that wasn’t there?  Perhaps that is a less sterile question.

I have explained that I read the book without context.

At the end of that reading, I concluded that though 'madeleine' was the title, she did not appear to be a principal character.

[Mr Gray]

I'd probably get pilloried by supporters for trying to make a few bob out of MBM.

It's an interesting proposition though.

Now I've got a theme, what about a title?

'madeleine' has already been used.

You may have those things but I would say what you don't have is a market.... And that's a rather important commodity.

I think there, are several of us here who could write a book... I just don't think there is a market for one

The book was a best seller...I think that Kate did a great job.
Pretty well everything in the book related to madeleine and her disappearance so she had to be the main focus of the book

[Venturi Swirl]

I have explained that I read the book without context.

At the end of that reading, I concluded that though 'madeleine' was the title, she did not appear to be a principal character.

As the book was written about and completely driven be events that happened post her disappearance perhaps you could explain how she could have been the principal character.  I have absolutely no doubt that you cannot but I thought I’d ask anyway, just to be polite like.

I think a book about the post disappearance online hate campaign, focusing on some of the principal characters, plus an examination of the propaganda methods used and the psychology behind it would be a most valuable and interesting study.  Now, where did I put that dossier...

[ShiningInLuz]

Whereas, I have no idea as to why you are repeating the same question over and over, like.

I've answered.  Time to move on.

Ok fair enough but what exactly does anyone get out of the sort of relationship KM has with God other than as she said it provides her with a source of comfort, refuge and support. 

I like to think if I get something out of a relationship I put back at least some token gesture.

Imagine having a group of friends who only called upon you to provide a source of comfort, refuge and support.  I might well consider them users and dump them.

It is what Kate is willing to do for others too. I don't know them that well but there is  one detailed promise and that was that the find Madeleine fund would be used to help other missing children once Madeleine was found.

She writes a book it earns millions and she is willing to be charitable with the proceeds.

[Robittybob1]

Not every religion believes in god... There is certainly one atheistic religion

Fair enough.  But in Kate's book it is her type of religion put on the line.

[Mr Gray]

Fair enough.  But in Kate's book it her type of religion put on the line.

I think religion is, a very personal thing.. I might criticise some religions but you can't criticise a persons right ir opinion to follow a religion

[Robittybob1]

Thanks John.  So I think its safe to say GM was in error not the interpreter/translator.

As long as Gerry had the key he can enter the front and leave via the unlocked patio door.

[Robittybob1]

Just as he was in error when he claimed where he met Jez.  Simple basic errors which poses the question as to what other details were recalled incorrectly and more importantly, why?

I know exactly why he claimed to have used the locked front door but when it was established that the key to the door had been left in the apartment then a change of strategy was required.

Who claimed the key was left in the apartment.  You would have to work out when it was left there.  The photographer wasn't on the scene until around 2:00 AM the next day.

[Holly Goodhead]

I think you put too much belief in the interpretation of non verbal communication.... It could tell Gerry was uncomfortable but notbthe reason why.  When you can show us an experts opinion on gerrys body language your opinion we won't know who  is right.. I'm convinced I am

We know they found it difficult to fess up to the fact they left the children in the unsecured apartment as KM tells us as much in her PB.  Plus it is widely agreed that in the immediate aftermath KM kept repeating over and over "We've let her down, we've let her down".
