Title: A Book in Need of an Editor
Review: This is an interesting story, but could have been told in a more gripping manner by editing the length by slightly over one hundred pages. There is much repetition throughout. Some portions move linearly in time, but the reader may often be caught short when there are sudden inexplicable leaps backward in time. One gets the impression that Harper-Collins wanted to get the book to press quickly, so did not allow one of their fine editors to spend sufficient time with it. This book is likely to only appeal to those die-hard "True Crime" readers, especially those who enjoy re-reading the same information repeatedly and relish hearing tales of psychopathology from a participant's viewpoint. One does get the feeling that one would not want to be involved with any member of this family.
