superwritermom 's review for:
The Stranger Beside Me
by Ann Rule
Okay then. This is a book that I read.
What makes this book so ridiculously engrossing is that Ann Rule knew Ted Bundy. That fact also often frustrated me because she sends him money and takes forever to believe he's guilty. Writing the book in that way, however, was a brave choice. The whole idea of sociopaths is that she didn't know. Several people in his life didn't know. It's really easy to look back and get angry at the people who were manipulated by him, but manipulating is what he did best.
That said, I needed to take a shower after this because ugh, and I think I'll pass on all of the documentaries and movies and whatnot. Ol' Ted doesn't deserve any more of my attention.
