The Stranger Beside Me by Ann Rule

3.0

It's a true crime classic. It's great, everyone knows it. It was my first Ann Rule book and although I really really enjoyed it I have to say the most recent edition is hella long.. Like hella long. But it's because of the updates and the re-writes and the extra information.

I was, obviously, aware of Ted Bundy but I wanted to learn about his victims and his crimes, this book was excellent for that. I personally prefer the first half to the second, maybe because I feel like I want to know the victims stories more than Bundy and his infamy and escapes and all that madness. Nonetheless, my boyfriend who doesn't like reading or true crime, would ask me to read this out loud to him and was equally as engaged in the book as I.
