    After watching the movie, I decided to read the book. It was very interesting. I was always interested on serial killer mysteries. It was quite scary at times reading what the Zodiac did.

    I've been wanting to read this book forever so I knew what would happen in the movie. I don't know why, but I simply adore books like that, that go in death about troubled children or murderers 8/ well, my preference excelated quickly XD

    While flawed, it is still the most complete telling of the story in a single volume.

    There seems to be a lot of updated information about the killings including suspects, which I recomend looking up after reading this book. It is good, but by no means the entire story.

    I have always had an interest in the criminal mind and why they do the things they do. Zodiac has intrigued me for a long time--not necessarily the person, but rather the case itself. There was so much information collected and yet no one was ever charged. I feel that if this happened today, the killer would have been caught. This book was pretty well-written, with plenty of facts and, of course, a certain amount of speculation which is only sensible given that Graysmith was a reporter and not a policeman. Overall, good book

    A very interesting book. The conclusion of the killer is a guess becuase the killer has never been caught. Amazing and disturbing.

    Book really gave me the chills. I read it when it was first released, long before the film. Which I also enjoyed.

    Robert Graysmith was the cartoonist on one of the papers who received letters from the serial killer named Zodiac. He was drawn to the case and went on to carry out his own investigations into who was Zodiac( for the record they never did capture him) yet Graysmith had his own ideas into who was Zodiac. For anyone who watched the recent film this is a must read. Chilling.

    This book is so detailed! Anything and everything surrounding the zodiac case can be found here. My favorite part was making all the connections between the book and movie.
