I wouldn't describe it as wonderful. I liked it but didn't think it was the best thing I've ever read. I've only read a few Neil Gaiman but it seems to be typical Neil Gaiman, told from the child's viewpoint with parents that just don't understand.

As a true crime author, I really loved that book. I also hated it because Simon had such great access and I was cursing him for how good it was.

I have read this book and I found it heart-breaking. I know that the end leaves you wondering if the mother really did try to kill her Korean daughters or not...it was still a well developed novel.

Currently Reading "The Lost Boy" by Dave Peltzer.

[A.r.]

Definately going to check this out, but I wonder if any new information is revealed. I read Brain Master's book about Nilsen, but that was AGES ago!

[Kevin]

Reading "Queenpin" by Megan Abbott and the first pass in a new detective novel by Alex Seguina.

Reading American Gods by Neil Gaiman

I am reading Green River: running red by Ann Rule

What did you think Dachokie? I can't decide whether to get this book, as I'm worried it's just going to be the SAME old information about Manson that we've heard a hundred times before. But if there is something new to be read I might consider it...

That's a classic one! Probably one of the first true crimes I ever read. I think it helped get me in to the genre. I'd like to hear what you think of it!

[Rebecca]

I am reading several books right now.
Almost Adam
Magdalen Rising: The Beginning
Egyptian Myth

On Kindle:
Shadow of Stone
Les Misérables
From the Caves and Jungles of Hindostan

[Meleya]

Currently Reading: Zero at the Bone by John Heidenry

[Stu]

Yah it's a great book, I do think it was right to give backgrounds of all the victims. Only about 50 pages left. I'm trying to think what book I started with. I believe it was Zodiac by Robert Graysmith.

[Cookie]

The Man Who Could Not Kill Enough by Ann Schwartz

[Nick]

A Pitch for Justice, all about a baseball death. I know nothing about baseball, but interesting nonetheless.

To anyone interested in the ongoing Amanda Knox saga, I humbly recommend The fatal Gift of Beauty: The Italian trials of Amanda Knox. And feel free to send me your questions and comments.

It's not very 'true crime' either but I started reading We Need to Talk about Kevin and couldn't get past about 25%. So well written but that mother is such a narcissist and I couldn't stand to hear one more thing she had to say. Anyone else have the same reaction?

[Deanna]

Am currently reading "The Monster of Florence," by Douglas Preston. It's pretty fascinating. It will gain four stars from me.

Totally agree here! Maybe I'll go back to it one day, though.

That's an interesting one for sure. I'm not sure about the author's part played in later events, but I cannot fault the true crime writing of the murders. Yet this still remains a mystery, somewhat like America's Zodiac killings.

Speaking of the Zodiac killings I have The Zodiac Killer: Terror and Mystery by Brenda Haugen checked out from the library.
