This is such an interesting view of Bundy and a serial killer in general with it being from someone who knew him as a friend. I particularly like the fact that the author was already set to write a book about the “Ted” killer before she even realized her connection to the killer.
But, this book is incredibly long and because of the subject matter it’s exhausting. It’s just under 600 pages of Bundy and that’s a bit much.

Finally! I finished this book! This was a tough book to get through--not for a lack of interest, but because of the heftiness of both subject matter and detail. You can definitely sense the 'gotcha journalism' throughout the book with statements such as "and that's the last time ______ ever ______" or "I guess we'll never know ________..." Overall, fascinating read...definitely a must-read for those titillated by serial killers!!

Damnnnnnn reading this made me so paranoid. I really enjoyed listening to this book. Rule goes very in depth and I appreciated her admitting her bias' and perspective and his friend and as a crime reporter. Very well researched
Really well written. I only wish we could have more answers. Her style could be a little grating at times, but her dedication to the facts as best she can tell is really nice. highly recommend!
Could not put down!! Such a great perspective and fantastic writing. No detail left unsaid! Thoroughly enjoyed this book and will probably reread in the future!
I don’t want to rate this very sad story. Hard to believe this man had normal friendships alongside his horrible evil life.
It's really hard to say I "enjoyed" a book about Ted Bundy. But I watched the Netflix special on him and it terrified me. And when I'm scared I research, and that's how I came across this book. To say Bundy did some disturbing things is the understatement of the year. It wasn't easy to read about what he did. But it was fascinating to read about his psychological make-up. Scary, but fascinating. Some of the book is VERY bogged down in dates and names of law officers, but at the end of the day, it made one thing very clear. Ted Bundy was just a man.
Will have to give this another try at a future date - I just wasn’t feeling an entitled man doing horrible things to women right now. (But that’s hardly the book’s fault!)
