Title: TOO MUCH FILLER / NOT ENOUGH KILLER
Product review: Header pretty much tells it.Ness comes across as a fairly dull individual.Could have done without quite a bit of the info on Cleveland.Book is gripping and a real pager-turner when the author stays with the slasher and his victims...alas, there isn't enough of it here. Also, what compounds the problem is that the butcher was never caught.So, what do you got? A John Gilmore SEVERED type of tale? Not quite, because John Gilmore is the superior writer and his book is a compelling read every step of the way (even though John Gilmore was not certain of who did Elizabeth Short in, either.)But hey, some scribes are born true-crime writers, some are not.I did say when the author of Torso stays with the bodycount and the ensuing manhunt the book is a scream--by that I mean it just might make your lunch back up.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
