I have read the book and watched the movie of Life with Billy. First upon reading the book, I was very shocked!! The abuse that Jane Whynot suffered from him was awful, not to mention the abuse her children suffered. After reading the book I decided to rent Life with Billy and I must say it was a good thing they left a lot of things out of the movie. However, the movie is very powerful, I would highly recommend watching it. I would see this movie as being possibly a helpful tool or guideline to other women who are abused by their husbands. Shooting your husband is not the answer, however, do not let yourself go that far either! Life with Billy makes you think about the world we live in today. Why would this man do this to his own family, to only meet his death in the end. I am from Nova Scotia and I live one hour and a half hours away from where Life with Billy took place. Scary? yes it is!
