Review:When you read about Israel Keyes you will see what a madman he actually is. He was a dad, he owned his own business and yet he was a serial killer, rapist and even liked to rob banks. This man traveled cross country and would choose his victims randomly. If you are an avid TC reader, this book is hard to put down Author JT has written another best seller. Read more

Review:The first thing I need to mention is that I purchased this book as an audio book. This is significant because it contributes strongly to the impression that I got of this book. This is going to sound like a strange comparison but to me this book brought forth the image of what I imagine speed dating to be like. I know, weird analogy, but hear me out.

When you are listening to this book what happens is that you get a whole lot of very brief descriptions of each of many killers. Most of the... Read more

Review:Good personality analysis but little suspense buildup. The long list of victims made it hard to keep track of who's who. Book provides food for thought for potential "Bundy killing-type victims"...POS Read more

Review:There is one point that Karr makes in this book that rings true: If there is more than one member in a family then it is dysfunctional. My only positive note is that the book is easy to get through. In fact, very easy reading, so it (thankfully) goes fast (so I will admit here I may have gone into la-la-land as I was reading the book. As I kept reading I kept waiting to read about some horrid action taken place, or an incident or two, that adversely affected Karr, but other than the time whe... Read more

Review:I found this book to be a refreshing change of pace from what is usually on the shelf. I enjoyed a glimpse into her world. I would have liked to know more about her current husband and daily life, I enjoy rooting for. the under dog. Read more

Review:I finished reading this book last night, and I've been thinking of it all day, having read it with full engagement over a week. It affected me increasingly, the more deeply I read into it. Most of all, it's an honestly felt memoir, in which the author Mira's fear of, and inability to live, near here mentally ill mother Norma, leads her to make many life choices that would otherwise be unexplainable. All the settings--Cleveland for much of the book, where I happened to also grow up--are extremel... Read more

Review:honestly, I bought this book on a whim--while I liked the drawings from the sketchbooks, this volume came across too Forest J Ackerman for my taste and less conceptional--however, if fan stuff is your cup of tea and you want to peek at the things peeking back at you in his house then get it--as an artist, I would have been more excited to have been treated to production from start to finish--I get that, to many, he is a god and he well deserves that accolade but I was looking more for the artist...

Review:I may be a bit biased as Jean Ed was a high school classmate -- president and most likely to succeed. I agree with George Will that Jean Ed Smith is currently the very best historical novelest. I have military background and was attending Penn State when Dwight was President and his brother, Milton, was President of Penn State. The book is extremely well researched. Read more

Review:I read this book to find out more of the history of the Korean and Vietnam wars. Actually, it turned out to be a well-written self-promotion book about Hackworth himself. I saw the author on TV, but as I read it I could only picture Oliver North. Hackworth proves he is a common man and a high school drop out by using a lot of written profanity.

He later attended West Point after proving himself in battle as an enlisted man. One learns lots of Army acronyms, and that the author conside... Read more

Review:The Dressmaker of Khair Khana:

an excellent example of true journalism ; gayle lemmon's account inserts the reader inside of the facts, providing an understanding of events by those who lived through them along with compelling insight into how their 'history' impacted their future. read it Read more
