If you want to peak into the mind of a serial killer then this is the book for you. It does rub your face in the brutality and pathological cruelty of the serial killer.

Not for the weak hearted.

I gave this two stars because the writing was third rate and poorly done. The balance of the book is about a boy who sustained a brain injury it is not written by someone who has a brain injury. Because the writing was so poor reading the book quickly became tedious and boring. No doubt the book will be come a best seller because of the sensational nature of the topic not because it is a well written piece of literature.

In the words of Bart Simpson; Duh, it needed a good editor. :)
