Negative Positive
Title: Tall tales and boasting
Review: This is not a typical true crime book and not what I was expecting. It is written mostly in the 1st person from the killer's point of view. Graphic details of the killings and uncorroborated accounts of the victim's final moments. Offers some insight into the mind of a serial killer who exhibited the classic signs of animal abuse and arson, and may have been beaten by his father. The killer seems to have a better life in prison than he did on the outside, and seems to very much enjoy his celebrity status (as well as being co-author of this book). Little information presented about the investigation of the crimes, the evidence that was used to convict him, etc. Mostly just the killer boasting about what he did (in great detail) and how he managed to avoid the death penalty.Overall very distasteful and not much of value here. I recommend skipping this one.
