lindsaynixon 's review for:
The Stranger Beside Me
by Ann Rule
I picked this up hoping for a story on either denial or the experience perspective of someone who knew and loved someone who did terrible things. Every evil person in history has had siblings, friends, neighbors, teachers, etc who said “but he was a great boy” and “what? He could never do such a thing” and Ann was that person to Ted Bundy. While Ann does at times describe her denial and reckoning it is very minor and unexplored. The bulk of the book is a cliff notes/Wikipedia entry of Ted Bundy as a serial killer. For that it’s a fine, good, summary but for what I was expecting it fails.
