the making of a serial killer danny rolling

a thrilling ride with the gainsville serial killer. as u read it feels like u r right there with him as he relives his crimes for the readers. he also tells of prieviously unknown details of his abusive childhood (his father stomped his puppy to death right in front of him as a small boy) and his stint in the air force. his brilliant artwork, songs and poetry r also featured in his final work. truly a collectors edition!

Guilty pleasure

Anyone considering purchasing this book should first be made well aware that neither of the authors are/were literary geniuses. Far from it in all actuality. Much like Manson, Rollings has a touch of the artistic side within him. Perhaps it's merely the a-la-carte that so often accompanies insanity. This book contains much of his poetry, lyrics and drawings. Again, I stress that he is NOT great at any of the aforementioned. Neither is Manson, but still... it was entertaining on a certain, twisted level. Rollings was definitely not wired correctly from early on, and Ms. London (in my humble opinion) may have a little of the same problem upstairs, as well. Rollings (coincidently?) was not the first killer that Ms. London has been romantically involved with. She even fancies herself a singer and songwriter, which (if you have the time and inclination) you can find online and feast on an auditory sample thereof. When doing so, I must warn you to refrain from drinking any beverages when the music commences... else liquids will fly with great velocity during the riotous fits of laughter that will inevitably follow. Yet, even with all that I have mentioned so far, this book is greatly entertaining. Perhaps that IS the very reason why it's an enjoyable read. It isn't verbally over-stuffed and psychologically fluffed. It is what it is... if you can take it as such. And much like a bad train wreck, one is some how drawn to slow down and give it a look. I liked it a lot. It's an easy read. Put it on the coffee table if you're not afraid of scaring away the neighbors. Then again... hmmmm. ;)

Perfect!All You Want To Know About The Case

I have to say this is the best book I read about this case so far,and it has all the juicy details!It starts out with a little background info and then works up into one of the most amazing,incredible true-life stories I've ever read.All the most fascinating things you wonder about with regard to Rolling and his murky past are revealed here.I think they did a good job here and they should make a movie out of this book!On a scale of one to ten I give it a Perfect Ten.Amazing details that had me on the edge of my seat-once you pick it up you won't be able to put it down until you're through!
