Editorial Review:
AN ABUSIVE MOTHER
Raised in the suburb of Riverside, California, twenty-year-old college student Jason Bautista endured for years his emotionally disturbed mother’s verbal and psychological abuse. She even locked him out of the house, tied him up with electrical cord, and on one occasion, gave him a beating that sent him to the emergency room. His fifteen-year-old half brother Matthew Montejo also was a victim to Jane Bautista’s dark mood swings and erratic behavior, but for some reason, Jason received the brunt of the abuse—until he decided he’d had enough…A SON’S REVENGE
On the night of January 14, 2003, Jason strangled his mother. To keep authorities from identifying her body, he chopped off her head and hands, an idea he claimed he got from watching an episode of the hit TV series “The Sopranos.” Matthew would later testify in court that he sat in another room in the house with the TV volume turned up while Jason murdered their mother. He also testified that he drove around with Jason to find a place to dump Jane’s torso.A CRIME THAT WOULD BOND TWO BROTHERS
The morning following the murder, Matthew went to school, and Jason returned to his classes at Cal State San Bernardino. When authorities zeroed in on them, Jason lied and said that Jane had run off with a boyfriend she’d met on the Internet. But when police confronted the boys with overwhelming evidence, Jason confessed all. Now the nightmare was only just beginning for him…

Such Good Boys: The True Story of a Mother, Two Sons and a Horrifying Murder
This story is very frustrating because several people knew this mother had mental problems and did't try to get help for her or her children.
Rating: - MOMMY DEAREST...
This is a well-written, gripping true crime tale. I simply could not put the book down! It is a tragic story that is profoundly sad, as it deals with the murder of a woman, Jane Bautista, by her older son, Jason Bautista, with the knowledge and blessing of the younger one, Matt Montejo. Jane Bautista was mentally ill, and they simply could no longer deal with her erratic and frightening behavior. Jason's regrettable act was one that he deluded himself into thinking would restore normalcy into his ... Read More
Rating: - Good read
I received my order within a couple of days, very fast shipping. The book itself was a great read. Would recommend this book to anyone.
Rating:  - The double-standard is galling.
This book should make clear to anyone who reads it the hypocrisy and double standards with which our culture reacts to murder. If the genders were reversed, Jason could have been ten years older and would have been portrayed as rising against the shackles of patriarchal oppression. There would have been celebrities and artists and feminists turning the case into a cause celebre, as they did with Aileen Wuornos, who had far less reason to commit her depradations than these boys. I, too, think the ... Read More
Rating: - Deserving of a head shake and a sigh
The two boys had every reason to do what they did, and if they had looked or acted remorseful during that time, it would have been to their benefit. But no, page 186 describes Jason telling another inmate that he killed his mother, grinning about it the entire time. What did he expect? That they wouldn't consider him a threat to society if he acted like that? Then there's the unfortunate fact that this young man was 18, and considered an adult, who could have gone out into the ring and taken the legal ... Read More
