A Real Look at Rapists

I am amazed that a man and woman could get into state prisons across the country and talk one on one with rapists. This is the real thing -- the right stuff -- if you want to know what makes these sickos tick

Great Insight

This book was written after numerous interviews with convicted rapists all over the country. It gives you a great insight into the way they see themselves and their situations instead of just getting the clicnical diagnose or the impression of the author. You get that too but the real core of this book is the insight into the mind and actions of these offenders.

The most chilling look at the minds of rapists!

In reading this book I was amazed how the authors got into prisons across the country to interview sex offenders. It was frightening reading to see how rapists think about women --how none of us are safe from these creeps. Most amazing of all, many of these rapists didn't think they did anything wrong -- that women "asked" for it. I was also surprised to learn how many sex offenders were molested or abused by women when these guys were young boys. This is the classic work on rapists -- a must read!
