review 1: I thought I would like this book more than I did. Maybe I am just too busy to really get into this kind of non-fiction right now. I enjoy true crime, but this felt a little haphazardly put together. There is no suspense and no explanation for why this man did what he did. I did like reading the last quarter or so, in which a friend of his helps pin him down. She was the most compelling character and brought life into the story. Until then it was really rather dull.
review 2: The first part of this book is a 4. I found the story gripping. One of those things that you just cannot turn away from even though it is sickening. In places I forgot I was reading a non-fiction. The second part is a 2. It dragged out forever. Too many sections were the people involv... moreed are waffling about what to do, how they felt. By the time I reach the last chapter I just wanted it over. So I'll average the two together and give the book a 3. less
