Negative Positive
Title: Bad logic...
Review: Although Ms. Cornwell does provide much of the common data used by modern "Ripperologists" and provides a handful of new propositions, the book is fragmented and redundant in tone. Huge liberties are taken in her deductions and square pegs are forced into round holes more violently than the Ripper dealt deathblows. I imagine the only reason this book was released was to offset the losses she occurred in her obsessive and extravagant research of the case. IN SHORT: I would not recommend this as a Ripper primer, but only if you are interested in the greater span of Ripper theories.
Is the review positive or negative?
