I read this book last year, and enjoyed it so much, i gave my copy to a friend. After hearing him RAVE about the book, i decided to get it back from him and read it again. Unfortunately, he too, passed the book on, so i ended up ordering another from amazon. I hesitate to use the word RIVETING, but i must say, it certainly applies to this read. Even after having read it last year, i couldn't put it down, and was finished with it all too soon. A true story of a very evil man that will, at times, send chills through you, and MAY even alter the way you deal with other people. GOOD book.
