Review:I absolutely loved reading this book. I was only 8 years old when this happened, I started watching the television series of the murder, and was in ah to know a guilty man was set free. I became curious of all the characters, especially mark and began to wonder what happen, and decided to read his book, and not for a second was I disappointed. He explains in depth every moment and I love him even more as a person. They should've never let him go from the force or pressed charges against him. It'... Read more

Review:This was an excellent story on forgiveness and love and recovering. I would recommend it to anyone trying to get over a hurt, and a death. It was touching to know her son showed her signs that he was near. Wonderful book. Read more

Review:Full disclosure: the "boss" Joanna Rakoff describes in this book has been my agent for over 30 years. In spite of the fact I make very little money for her, she has always been supportive of me simply because she likes my writing--a fact the agent called "Max" in this memoir, who considered her an anachronism, would no doubt decry. For me, the "boss" is one of a dying breed of agents, editors and publishers who are in the business because they love writing.
And I like Rakoff's writing. She ... Read more

Review:I really enjoyed this book as a long time Against Me! fan. It is a fast, insightful, and entertaining read. It offers a mix of old journal entries and prose to give a surprisingly insightful and detailed look into busy and complicated life in relatively few words. I would recommend this book for fans of against me! there are tons of great stories from Laura's time on the road. I also really found myself relating to the book as a women who loves punk rock and a women in general. Laura shares... Read more

For those who have no understanding of depression it sheds some light for them and it illustrates perfectly the hells that these depressed individuals can go through. For people who are depressed themselves and, it gives them something to connect to and relate to. For people who are only mildly depressed it shows them how bad things could be and that their situation isn't as bad as they think. This book leav... Read more

Review:After seeing her name on every HBO Documentary Film, I was so hoping to be inspired by her (supposed) wisdom, to learn from her rise to the top, and enjoy the laughs that it promises. Instead, the author exhibits a Yale degree does not a classy lady make. Perhaps she mistakes vulgar values for humor. It is so not funny at all. An irresponsible waste of an opportunity to empower her readers. I’m stunned that this highly regarded story teller could write such an unintelligent book. Read more

Review:I purchased this book because I wanted to know the Ed Gein story. And that is what I got; I found the book to be very informative. It of course covered the murders committed by Mr. Gein, but also gave a lot of information about his life including his mental and emotional status. Read more

Review:It was very interesting especially since I worked with the mentally ill in the area. It was worth reading
because it was based on true facts. You get to see how far the treatment of mental illness has progressed. Read more

Review:This book, written as a first person narrative, seems like a stretched out version of an article in Redbook! The point is made early on that they find one another. I was wondering at that point what else would come. It had interesting bits of information then... interspersed throughout are random research on twins. It was as though they needed to fill pages. This book was not particularly well written and the style was tedious. Revelations was not outstanding and ending predictable. I felt it ... Read more

Review:This was a frightening biography about Richard Kulkinski, a monstrous human being who killed with impunity and joy. It was a book both difficult to read because of the horrific acts of this "man" yet impossible to put down. It makes one into a voyeur of the devil's perfect man who purportedly killed innocent people for sport, or to test a new lethal weapon.

Couple of points - the book was way to sympathetic to Barbara Kulkinski. It is difficult to understand how she didn't know, or inq... Read more
