Title: The author has Alzheimer's
Review: This is a really tedious book. I'm beginning to really wonder if anyone besides Ann Rule can write a true crime book well.Apparently the author has the beginnings of Alzheimer's, because she repeats and repeats the same material to the point that it is work reading this book.The author has good intentions, wanting to fill the read in on background material of the victims' lives and the murderer's life, but as a reader, one has to wonder how she knows what all of these various people have said in their lives. Did she attach a tape recorder to each of them prior to the murders?On top of her repetitiveness, by the time I got to page 199 (yes, page 199!) and the background material was finally over, I was exhausted from reading the book and had no interest in finishing it.It's certainly admirable to give some background information, which is often lacking in true crime books. But to do so for nearly 200 pages and more than half the book is just tiresome.
