Review: The Evil That Men Do: FBI Profiler Roy Hazelwood's Journey into the Minds of Serial Killers

The Evil That Men Do: FBI Profiler Roy Hazelwood's Journey into the Minds of Serial Killers by Stephen G. Michaud
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

You won't find my doors and windows unlocked anymore... This guy, an FBI agent in the Behavioral Science Unit, studied rapists, murderers, and all manner of depravity. In this book he takes you a bit deeper into the horrors of the crimes than you might want to go. Unless you're me, I love depravity!

From the well known stories like the psycho who committed the Atlanta Child Murders to lesser known deviants in small town Nebraska, the terror you'll learn about is fascinating and terrifying. If you love True Crime, this is a must read.

The Rileyville Mystery by Garry E. Lewis
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

The story really was good but my God, the grammar! I was screenshotting the hell of pages of this book; Stuff like "If he posts bale, he can get out of jail tomorrow morning." Bale.. OMG... BAIL! Anyway, besides book reviews, I do proofreading and copy editing, just sayin'!

Review: Black Beauty

Black Beauty by Anna Sewell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I can't even count how many times I've read this book. It's the only book I have ever read more than once. I cried when I was 10 and I still cry every time I read it. There isn't a more pure, innocent, tragic story than Black Beauty and if I - the animal advocate/shelter volunteer - can take it, so can you. I promise, it's worth the heartache.

Review: In Cold Blood

In Cold Blood by Truman Capote
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I read this when I was pretty young and I think it's probably responsible for my addiction to all things murder mystery. It's disturbing because it's true and it happened at a time when that kind of thing didn't happen as often as today. Truman Capote himself was very interesting and I wanted to learn all I could about him after reading this book.
