The book is about a crime which took place in Yorkshire, England. I like this book in a way of having two points of views; one is the point of the serial killer’s view and the other is the point from the author’s view to the detective and police. A good thing about the book is it contains clear descriptions that you imagine of the crime scene. The story is great and also has a lesson to the readers. I like the book and hope you like it too when you read.

The story was going great and interesting, but the final was totally abrupt, dull and disappointing.

Estoy aprendiendo el idioma. me gusto ya que te muestra la perspectiva policiaca y la del asesino al mismo tiempo. La parte final del libro donde dice que cambios pequeños pueden poner patas pa arriba la mente humana agrado.

It's the first book that i actually liked to read for school. But the story was pretty unsuspected and how the killer thought, also the way of killing was verry interesting and new. I really couldn't put the book down

The reason i decided to read Man Hunt by Richard MacAndrew is because it seemed like an interesting and intense book that would take to my likings because its about a Murder Mystery.
The reason i enjoyed it so much would be the fact of how the book is plained out; by saying this I mean its organised so you don't know who the killer is until the last part when he gets caught. His killings are also plained out perfectly and doesn't make you suspect it is Mr Reid, in saying this it isn't a shook when you find out it is him.
One of the characters would be Major Alan Reid; it is a off duty solider for the army who had recently lost his leg in a road side tomb in Afghanistan; he was the lucky one. They didn't really describe him but I presume he is bold or has a shaved head.
The book made me think deeply about serial killers; about how they work and live, how they kill, how they plan things almost perfectly. How serial killers blend in with crowds and you wouldn't be able to pick one out of a crowd or to notice he was one until he was killing you.
"The ace of spades sir" said the officer. "'I've just remembered-it's the card of death."'
This appealed to me because it was the main part of the book; being after every killing he would put a spade next to the person's dead body.
