Customer Reviews

Starkweather by Jeff O'Donnell

The book shed some light on the murders for me. I have read about them before and have seen a movie, but this book included details not discussed elsewhere. I thought it was very informative and the author seemed to try to get "all sides" of the story...after all...we will never know exactly what happened. The only thing the author could have added were additional photos.

Personal for me; Starkweather killed my cousin, Carol King

This book explained how evil a person can become. It tells how a young man can ruin his life and the lives of others by emulating those on the screen. The Monkey see, Monkey do syndrome is alive and well in this monsters life. Death was too easy for this person. Good book; well written; could have been more pictures
