The I-5 Killer

Very well written. Keeps your interest.

Ann Rule once again sheds light on a terrifying case that's haunted people for years. If you want to learn more about the history and victims of this dangerous road, this book is a good source.

Another book by Ann Rule that couldn't be put down until it was finished. All the victims were introduced first, so we knew who was who when they were murdered. At times I found some of the writing to be disturbing, but most of it had to be said to try and understand the problems Randy Woodfield had with his sex life.I highly recommend this book for all adults with a strong stomach, but keep it away from the fragile ones.

Wow! What a page turner! I just bought this book yesterday and I haven't been able to put it down but just long enough to sleep and write this review! I have recently moved to a part of town with only one book store. I have been searching like mad for an Ann Rule book. Before I could find one that I hadn't read yet, I had to settle for some other true crime books. I didn't like them at all. Finally, I have another Ann Rule book in my hands and it is just what I wanted. Although I am only half way through this book, this is some kind of story. After reading a couple of other true crime books, I now know for sure why I look so forward to an Ann Rule book. The difference is obvious. This story in particular, is horrific. How can anyone be so cruel, so heartless? It boggles the mind. Ann Rule gives you insight on the killers home life and social life as a child and teenager. You keep asking yourself where it all went wrong. He could have had the world. True crime such as this is more than just reading. It gives the reader knowledge and teaches that you must always be cautious of your surroundings and the people that you meet. You can never be too careful. No one tells a story of true crime as well as Ann Rule. No one.

The I-5 killer...was one of the best books that I have ever read..the suspense, the chills...the fear that it brings to you. It was so realistic. Ann Rule is an amazing author that knows how to write a great book. It is one of those books that you would want to read more than once.

This book was a pure example that a sick mind has no limitations. Randall Woodfield came from a good family background and had everything going for him. But that still was not enough. Reading Ann Rule's books have made me aware that you have to be on guard at all times. You never know who's lurking in the shadows. Her books are not only shockingly true, they also serve to 'educate' those who read them. Once you start reading one of her books, you cannot put it down!! You will be wide-eyed and open-mouthed through the whole book. Keep up the good work, Ann!!

I have read two previous books by Ann Rule when she wrote underthe pen name of Andy Stack: Lust Killer and the Want-Ad Killer. Thisbook, The I-5 Killer, I think, is the worst in the Andy Stack Trilogy. The crimes of Randall Woodfield are so horrific and sickening that I felt my stomach churn with disbelief and anger. His crimes were not just relegated to women, but to children as well...Any woman or women who looked as though they would be free targets for his sexually warped, frenzied, psychotic mind would be the target of Randall Brent Woodfield -- the I-5 Killer. My summation does not do the horror in this book justice -- as it gets extremely worse and bizarre....Ann Rule is a tremendously talented writer and deserves every honor and Edgar Allen Poe Award for this difficult genre.
