nicole_kay 's review for:
The Stranger Beside Me
by Ann Rule
I couldn't stop talking about this book after I finished. I'm STILL not done talking about it. It's absolutely mind-blowing.
Ann Rule talks you through Ted's life, from when he was a kid to the time she knew him, through his years as a killer and escaping (twice!) and, ultimately, his death. It's filled with so much information that I assume she's drawn from interviews and research along with her personal experience. Even so, it reads smoothly as a narrative, not like a research-filled textbook.
The fact that this is a true crime book is what both interested and haunted me.
