This was an incredible deep look into the life and mindset of Ted Bundy. You can read Ann’s thoughts and feelings develop and change over the course of the book as time passes. I recommend reading the most updated version of this book for her latest update on everything and final thoughts. This definitely gives a new inside perspective on Bundy that I think everyone should read!

4 1/2 stars! Tough read with a lot of information to process. Very interesting and extremely sad, while being well-written.

This book was just awful. I don’t understand how people enjoyed hearing a woman spin a tale and try to claim that it was facts. She had very minimum interaction with Bundy that was anything remotely scary. And even outside of work she had like one interaction with him. She’s just trying to make money off of a psycho and his poor victims.

Ann Rule is an amazing storyteller. I've always been fascinated by Ted Bundy and this book really digs into his life what do you appear to be on the outside by the people that were close to him and the horror of what he did without being overly sensational about the details of his crimes. Excellent book for fans of true crime. So sad for all of the victims and their families and the people that don't have closure.
