Very well written book. I've read loads of true crime and this one is one of the best. Disturbing that the bad guy could get away with so much for so long.

I got this book on recommendation from another "true crime" reader, and
she was on target! Truly an excellent book!!! The villian is horrendous,
but one of the more interesting cases I've read - and very well written.

I've read hundreds of true crime (and always looking for more), but this is a book certainly in my top 10.

It is rather scary how our justice system can fail us...... I'm not sure why I enjoy reading true life accounts. I guess I'm just weird. This one I did not like though. The event itself was just sickening and sad. As well, the storey was very disjointed and at times hard to follow.

A very good and very disturbing true story of a town driven mad by an out-of-control bully.
