Perhaps everyone has one good book in them, but it is rare to have witnessed and researched what Mr. Gilmore has here. Another review used the word artifact and that touches on the authenticity of the book. To simplify, the reader can infer that the intelligent and artistic Gary Gilmore came to expect repression as the expression of fatherly behavior and ultimately appealed to have himself shot in the heart. In contrast, the equally willful crimes of Mr. Bundy, who may have killed hundreds, never resulted in a desire on his part to submit to his punishment. Society may be thankful for the honorableness of Gary's decision. There is much to think about in this book. Much as the current Monica story, reading the tea leaves here will reveal more about the reader than the tea.
