This is truly scary stuff. I believe I read this after having seen the movie "Monster" which seemed to be pretty true to the book.

If you liked this book and are near Daytona Beach Florida I would recommend stopping at The Last Resort. This dive bar is where they filmed the movie Monster and the owner is a cool guy who answers all questions about Wuornos he knows the answer to (he personally knew her and had some great stories).

Since this is a book review and not a advertisement for the bar, this is one of the better books on Wuornos I have read. The author does not try and hide her crimes and told of all the people who used her crimes as a way to make money.

This one is on my keeper shelf of books.
