I have read a lot about the Zodiac killer and watched so many documentaries. This was very interesting, but the information was redundant - my own fault as I think I have exhausted my interest in the case. Definitely recommend for anyone interested in The Zodiac and/or true crime..

That certainly cleared things up. The reader has a very good idea of just how obsessed [a:Robert Graysmith|61248|Robert Graysmith|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1348593378p2/61248.jpg] and others became with this case once she realizes just how frequently the author repeats evidence, conversations, and speculations, sometimes reiterating entire pages of earlier writing word for word. A fascinating portrait of psychopathology from the point of view of those trying to understand, stop, and expose a killer.

The other reviews are correct... this book could have been a LOT shorter. The same information was repeated again and again. We GET it, Robert Graysmith.

Truth is, everybody wanted Arthur Leigh Allen to be the Zodiac, including Allen himself. But he probably wasn't. Sure, there were a lot of coincidences that make Allen look like a good match for the killer, but the DNA didn't match.

Ugh. Long and repetitive. Obsessive. Don't read this. Read Graysmith's other Zodiac book. That one is excellent.
