    “Recommended by my Criminal Law professor as a good account of a person who's actions are criminal but they lack the mental capacity to comprehend the wrongness of their actions. This was pretty quick read, but certainly creepy.”

    “Liked the book and found it haunting. However, there were a few too many stereotypes about the killer that I've just seen beaten into the ground.
    The fact that he's homosexual and pedophile AND has to have a huge van. Seems like it's all been done. Book was a good read, though. Short and enjoyable”
