I gave it 5 stars not because I actually really liked it but because I think it was very well written. It is a very detailed, gruesome account about a real cannibal. NO details were left out. Graphic does not begin to describe it. It would have been easier to read if it had been fictional, but unfortunately it is not. If you wonder about the mind set of a cannibal, this book will definitely educate you.

Extremely disturbing, graphic detail..not for the faint of heart

I got this book for my sister, who has a weird fascination with true crime, and serial killers, especially cannibals.

From the excerpts she read to me, this is a very graphic and sometimes disturbing book. But even more than that, it's the fact that the cannibal found numerous WILLING victims to the ad he placed for someone to murder and then eat.

If you've ever wondered if there really are such messed up people in the world, the answer is undoubtedly YES!

I have read hundreds of true crime books, this has got to be the sickest I have ever read. I almost didn't finish it, but I did.

Too disturbing and graphic for me to finish! Very dark twisted stuff.

Wow. I read this book in one sitting. I love true crime and this is by far the most outrageous book I have ever read. I turned every page in disbelief. A must read for any true crime lover!!!

True Crime Novel. Extremely graphic ... not for the faint of heart.

I'd heard this book is disturbing. Parts of it are very disturbing, but I'm impressed with the detail and honesty of the account of what happened in this case. Also, the author gives very fair time for explaining how Meiwes came to do this act and his motivations behind it. A sad case of how some people are so horribly influenced as children.....

Almost unbelievable.

If you like this kind of stuff, you will enjoy this book! Definitely gross but good reading!

If you like true crime, this book is a must read. Very disturbing, yet one of those books you can't put down.

And with details never before divulged to the public, it takes readers step-by-step through the unspeakable crime that fascinated and revolted the world.
