Intensely interesting

For such a dark and disturbing story it was well executed and it gives an incredibly unique perspective. I thoroughly enjoyed this book!

Great listen

Great listen, this book was by far one of my favorites. If you like true crime and have the stomach for it then get this book!

Riveting!

There wasn’t a second of this book that I wasn’t on the edge of my seat or yelling at the absurdity of Ted Bundy’s manipulations. Ann Rule drew me in immediately and held my attention for 18+ hours of listening.

Fantastic Narrator!

I read multiple reviews that said how awful the narrator was for this book, and I nearly turned away but had been convinced by the high overall rating the book had. I'm glad I ended up doing that. I'm not sure why those people thought the narrator did a bad job. Okay, her male voices sound a little silly sometimes, but the variation in her female voices is great. Her overall narration is very good too.

Don't ever let your guard down

There is no mistake that Ted Bundy's story was frightening. i know everyone is likely to have a killer somewhere in their path. I know my family has. Never take it for granted that someone is a nice or good person.

Gateway book into true crime

From start to finish, Ann captures your attention in her hair raising encounters with Ted Bundy, the absolute devastation he created, and the seemingly impossible veil he kept over everyone, including Ann herself. This book is the perfect starter for getting into true crime.

The true-crime Master has done it again.

Ann Rule sets the standard for true-crime books. I have yet to discover another author that comes close. If it is by Ann Rule, you know you are getting the very best, and you will be sucked in and taken away into another universe.She does meticulous research the reader benefits from, and she adds a depth to the telling of the facts that comes from very deep understanding of her topic. Over decades of focusing on true crime, she has perfected the art of telling these stories like no one ever has.

Wow!! A really amazing book!

I was pleasantly surprised by this book. That's putting it mildly. I was entranced by it! I like true crime books, but I stay away from subjects that are too gruesome and scary, like the murders of Ted Bundy.I worried this book would give me nightmares. However, Ann Rule does not fill her book with gory details. Instead Ann tells the shocking and fascinating story of life in the years of his murders and trials, and of her relationship and correspondence with him. The book is updated to reflect all the changes in his legal situation.There is a lot of heart in this book. Ann Rule writes it with such compassion and true emotion. It's incredibly well written!! I can't say that enough. Instead of coming away with nightmares, I was able to view the horror and tragedy of Ted Bundy from an unusual and fascinating perspective. Rule stays away from the sensationalism that you might expect from a "serial killer" expose. She has written an unbelievably compelling story. It was really interesting to read (hear) her shifting of thoughts and emotions regarding Bundy and his crimes, as she battled with the realization that he may have used her just like he used the other women in his life. Oh it is just a really good book.

Wonderful story

Not for the weak at heart, sensitive souls, those who can not tolerate obscene grotesque language and context. Riveting and left me wanting to know more. Hope there is a sequel and the performance was spell bounding.

Very interesting

This book is not your average study about serial killers. It's mostly the narrator reading the letters exchanged between a young man who has a traumatic brain injury and convicted serial killers. So you hear them recall their crimes and hear how they answer the questions the man asks. It is rather graphic when crimes are being retold so if you have a weak stomach this isn't or you. I found myself looking around a lot more (for safety) the more I listen this. Interesting use of the information the man gets and at first you think it's insane the parents went along with it.
