What a strange and unsettling book. To be able to continue to care for someone, especially platonically, while knowing the atrocities they've committed against innumerable individuals; the echo of which is so deep and widespread, is unfathomable to me.

srah's review against another edition

3.5

I think Ted Bundy's Wikipedia page is heavily based on information from this book... which means that at the time it was a lot of inside information and now it doesn't really add a lot if you've already read his Wikipedia page.

The audiobook is read by the author, which adds an interesting layer, but she definitely does not have a trained voice.
