I am guilty of watching many documentary’s on serial killers, admiring Zac Efron’s good looks. While doing so I’m sure I thought about the victims and their family’s but never in the way I did while reading this book. It opened my eyes and put many things into a bright perspective. I really grieved for the people/victims in this book.
Really enjoyed it!

What a harrowing story— fiction but based on a true story. At times, this was difficult to read given the subject matter and grief but I really loved how they painted the Defendant (Ted Bundy) as a dumb, arrogant, unattractive man, since, so much of the public did not see him that way. Would recommend this book to anyone who likes true crime!

DID NOT FINISH: 50%

I got it on audio and maybe my mind wandered too much while it played but I just couldn’t get into it.
