Customer Reviews

Nightmare of a story

I'm stunned at the reviewers who said this book was boring or they almost slept through it. The book itself was well written so I'm not rating the book on they terrible story inside as I think a few have. I thought the book was well written, but I personally had nightmares for weeks after thinking about what these women must have gone through and I really couldn't even imagine and didn't want to. I tossed the book in the garbage after reading it, I couldn't even have it in the house, it just is so disturbing and reeks of evil.

WOW

I to heard of the book from the Montel Williams show and all I can say is WOW. The book was extremely well written. I was very interested in the trial part of the book. I didn't think it would turn out how it did. It's hard to imagine something like that actually happening in real life, but this is proof that it does happen.

Great

I thought this was a very good book, the author told just enough about the torture to keep it interesting and not make me have nightmares. I read true crime all the time and this was one of the worst cases I've read about and I was able to finish pretty quickly.

Mind-Numbing: You'll Never be the Same After Reading This

I like true crime for the puzzle of how they're solved, and was drawn to this one out of morbid curiousity. I thumbed through it for a good half-hour, then backed away in horror after reading the opening paragraph, which made clear what the story was about. There's nothing sensual about this story, folks, and for the FBI to claim snuff films aren't real is a tragedy. I thumbed through this book 2 months ago, and it's imprinted my psyche unlike anything else. I had to take sleeping pills to fall asleep for 2 nights, and the images from this book continue to haunt me. (And I thought nothing would bother me after watching "Texas Chainsaw Massacre.") What do we do about people like David Ray? How can we prevent others from becoming like him? I have no idea, only that nothing on this Earth can punish such cruelty and wickedness.

Shocking

This was the best scariest book i have ever read. I hate reading, but when i got the hold of this book i read it in 3 days. I love reading it and i am never bored of reading it over and over again.
