Summary: Good, but somewhat biased
Comment: I have been interested in Aileen Wuornos's story for a while and I was somewhat dissapointed with this book. For one thing it is debatable whether Wuornos could even be classified as a serial killer, she did not stalk her victims as most serial killers do and many of her crimes were an act of revenge and self-defense from "johns" who were attacking her. Prostitutes are repeatedly abused and raped by their "customers" and what's worse is that no one tends to believe their story if they report. Richard Mallory one of her victims was even convicted of prior sexual abuse and rape and the police did nothing to check this out during the investigation. Additionally, women who kill are punished at a much more severe rate than men who commit the same crime and I think the author only focused on the sensationalism of this case instead of showing the entire picture. Otherwise, the book was easy to read and very informative.

Summary: Exhaustive Research on a Woman Serial Killer
Comment: After seeing author Sue Russell on the biography channel (A&E), I decided to give the book another try. It's hard to read about the repugnant, vicious Aileen Wournos. Russell painstakingly
researched this woman's life, from childhood to execution. Wournos's saga is a blueprint for disaster; she was raised in a house of raging dysfunction. She was a boisterous child full of spunk. That energy evolved into frustration, anger, prostitution and substance abuse even before Aileen ran away from home and hit the streets. This book is intriguing, but rather lengthy - 557 pages of in depth true crime reading.
Rating: 5
Summary: If you want to read a book, that you can't put down.......
Comment: This one is it. While in the early stages of reading this book, I went to see "Monster". I was glad to be able to get back to a book that told a thorough story, instead of a rushed account of a tortured soul. Sue Russell did an excellent job of researching the story of Aileen Wuornos. From the begining, it grabbed the reader and never let go. I am a fan of true crime and haven't been able to get my hands on a good book for a long time now. Even Ann Rule was putting me to sleep. Without going into the life of Wuornos and giving details of the story, I will tell you this...if you like true crime...if you want to read a good book.....buy this one.
