This book is just plain scary. But it tells it like it was, there was a demon in human form preying on the young beautiful people of this university town, taking their lives in the most grotesque fashion. It makes you wonder why? What makes these monsters become what they are? Is there a special hell for them, if not, there should be. I can't wait to hear the news that Danny Rolling, who was born the same month and year as I, has been executed.

I am not that much of a book reader, but a friend gave me the paperback addition. It is a real attention getter, it goes into detail of each sadistic murder. A suppenseful, exhilirating, heart pounding book, wondering how and when he is to claim his next victom. For instance, I do not like to give away the contents. But, this one is so sadistic that it will give you a kind of idea of the terrible nature of this person. He waited in the apartment of a college girl that he had been watching for some time. His wait was finally over when she entered the room, unknowing to her that he was waiting in the shadows. When the time was right he attacked relentlessly, not giving her time to fight back(not to much anyway)....... That is only a taste of what it is about, so if you want the whole scoop, buy and read the book. It takes a real good book to get my attention, and I just couldn't put it down. Now the details of the event may not be exact. But it's pretty darn close. Thank You.
