review 1: Whenever an horrific crime is committed, it seems the first question we ask is, "What was he thinking?" Tony Burgess answers that question in detail from the killer's point of view. Of course, we are aware that he isn't channeling the killer, nor do I believe that Mr. Burgess is a psychopath, but the story rings as true. We are only left to decide whether Bob Clark is insane or super-vigilant and just trying to make sense of all the stimulation coming his way. He seems so normal until... Bob "used to have trouble around people." Included are photos of the crime scene. Seriously, I still don't know whether Mr. Burgess is retelling a true story or he is just messing with me, but either way, I liked it a lot and I will go for a second date with one of his b... moreooks.
review 2: This is a very odd little book. Written from the perspective of a random killer, it's masquerading as a true story but is just fiction, and strange fiction at that. It is disturbing subject matter, interesting from a psychological standpoint and at times, goes off the deep end in a way that may be consistent with the thought patterns of a mental breakdown. I don't quite know what to think of it still. less

I really don't know how to feel about this one... I'm not sure I even know what happened....
