The Stranger Beside Me
by Ann Rule
This book was nicely written. I was not expecting it to be Ted Bundy’s entire life story but it was an okay surprise.
At some points the book dragged on which kind of annoyed me.
Another thing that annoyed me was the author’s friendship with Ted Bundy especially when she had her doubts and suspicions regarding him. The fact that she’d send checks and stamps to him. She was honest but at times I couldn’t help thinking she was exploiting their friendship for her book. A book she knew she was going to write.
I did like that she described the victims and their lives and how it gave a sense that these were completely innocent girls who wouldn’t cause harm to anyone and how their life was horrifyingly taken away from them. This book was disturbing at some points as well.
I did like the psychiatric discussion towards the end of the book on how Ted’s primitive years and the fact that he didn’t know who he was formed his entire life.
