maleficentknits's review against another edition
5.0
Give away I received from Harper Audio featuring Wil Wheaton narrating the story.
A young hitchhiker is picked up by the original serial killer that he has been searching for. A rather intense but great story.

crloken's review against another edition
2.0
A young aspiring serial killer seeks out an older serial killer so he can be mentored.
It's fine. I never felt particularly involved, and I certainly never felt frightened. The characters chat as they wander around and kill people which could have worked if it was longer and made you feel like people were dying. Mostly I felt indifferent to the carnage they were inflicting. The twist happened at such a rate as well that by the time it was being confirmed I hadn't entirely noticed that it hadn't been revealed yet.
I didn't realize going in that this was about serial killers. I'm really not interested in reading stories about them, and am kind of tired of the obsession with the "genius serial killer" and with "understanding" them.
It kind of reminded me of the Cereal Convention in The Sandman: The Doll's House although this was lacking the satirical edge that that story had.
I listened to the audio book version, which was read by Will Wheaton. I wasn't sure what to expect from him, but he did a great job.
