Interestingly enough, I'm listening to a book now and some info about Ted Bundy was mentioned and I already knew it. :)Thoughts of Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572910467988997432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31208059.post-44393370809025265202012-09-13T15:52:48.855-04:002012-09-13T15:52:48.855-04:00Les ~ True crime is scary stuff, but I am drawn to...Les ~ True crime is scary stuff, but I am drawn to it. It does affect me differently that fictional crime, though. <br /><br />The Cody topic makes me sad. I honestly wonder what happened to him. He has such a talent. I hope all is well. His writing is missed immensely.

I read Helter Skelter many, many years ago and had nightmares for months. I know this is weird, but I even have a hard time at work, shelving the books in the true crime section.

I've never seen The Killing Fields or Schindler's List for that very reason: I can't tell myself it's just a story because it isn't.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04664642293286996220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31208059.post-83714355167041719372012-08-22T17:58:17.232-04:002012-08-22T17:58:17.232-04:00Staci ~ I usually let books go pretty quickly (fro...Staci ~ I usually let books go pretty quickly (from my mind) especially being that I jump into a new one as soon as the old one is done, but this book has been lingering -- and not in a good way. :/ Thoughts of Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572910467988997432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31208059.post-82394972311928720172012-08-21T21:15:53.305-04:002012-08-21T21:15:53.305-04:00I read this one a long time ago and loved it even ...I read this one a long time ago and loved it even though it scared the bejesus out of me!!

I watched it and another one of her books on TV, though.<br /><br />I think her personal relationship with Bundy added a dimension that other crime writers/reporters could never produce.Thoughts of Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572910467988997432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31208059.post-39415483090823438892012-08-19T20:09:51.695-04:002012-08-19T20:09:51.695-04:00I read a book about Bundy, not this one, when I wa...I read a book about Bundy, not this one, when I was younger and I really was into True Crime back them. But something about becomig a mother totally turned me off these books I couldn't handle it. Give me horror, and gore in a FICTION crime thriller and it doesn't phase me but true crime had me at the throat. However, I've found myself back interested in this and am looking at possibly finding myself a coupe of her books.Nikki in Niagarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13348586723780500367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31208059.post-37426891389066501762012-08-19T17:32:22.480-04:002012-08-19T17:32:22.480-04:00Bermudaonion ~ I'm glad I didn't know the ...Bermudaonion ~ I'm glad I didn't know the details before I sent my kids off to college.
