Review:I started out reading this book because I like true crime books. At first I got into it but gradually I decided enough was enough. The frequent personal comments were the first thing that I hatted but now as he tells me about the fourth and fifth murders that aren't part of the Man from the Train I decided enough was enough. Why he chose to bring in murders that aren't part of the series is beyond me. It's distracting to the story and I've had it. Don't bother. Read more

Review:Reading this book on Holiday in the San Francisco bay area, I have to admit I did not feel comfortable anymore. I started in the evening, I could not put it down. Goosebumps all-over, every creaking sound magnified...scary!
The way Mr. Graysmith approached the subject, trying to gain some insight in the timeline of the killings, and the hardwork (if unsuccesfull) put in by the various police departments was highly interesting.
The scary part is that the Zoadiac is possibly still out ... Read more

Review:After years of wondering why serial killers engage in such monstrous behavior, I finally got the answers in this book.
Most of my previous research has rendered certain elements that contribute to such abhorrent behavior; however this book documents the research of someone who has been in the trenches fighting monsters. Read more

Review:This is a wonderful book. Although it is very lengthy and goes into minute detail with regard to the author's quest to understand the crime perpetrated against her and her former friend, I never became bored by the minutiae. On the contrary - I was fascinated the entire time. It is a story about crime but also about friendship and self-discovery and small-town American life. Jentz's writing has a certain poetical style to it that I found very appealing and engaging. This is a book that will... Read more

Review:This is a really interesting idea well realized. It's the perfect companion to The Handmaid's Tale, and I would really love a third book that lands somewhere in the political middle between those two books. Read more

Review:I've read this book twice. Provides amazing insight and helpful for every woman's life's journey. I bought this copy to a young woman I know that just graduated college, to help her understand herself as she heads out into the world. Read more

Review:Caitlin Moran, thank you for this book. It was so funny and a great reminder that the women's movement hasn't gone anywhere. I am so glad I didn't have to wait too long for Moranthology to follow. I have read both books several times in the past 30 days. I love them. Read more

Review:Unfortunately I had to put the book down because of work, but it was easy to pick back up. As detailed as it was it wasn't cumbersome with names and details like you see in so many books. I would highly recommend this book. Read more

Review:Provides information that has not been reported that can help us all understand what happened to Black people in this country and the implications for the future as well as repeating it in the present. It is a very time read. I wish educators, especially history teachers would read this book as they are the front line in providing perspective to the rest of us. Read more

Review:Having worked with EMS in an HR role, everything in this book hit home. The stories of calls, the fact that EMS is a totally different breed, that you get used to the horrible calls, all true. Even as a stranger looking in I found the stories fascinating, even if they are gross to the outsider looking in. Read more
