A good read
This is the kind of story that makes you want to pull your hair out in handfuls. Cold trails, unanswered questions and a smirking criminal enjoying soon the attention he's getting from the press. I shudder to think how much Excedrin his defense counsel must have gone through taking this case to court. The author did a good job of organizing a messy, complicated story.

The book was a tad bit repetitive but it was an overall interesting. It had very good insights from those for and against death row. It was detailed in what happened and the criminal process.

This book started off strong, but quickly became repetitive and full of tangents that were completely unnecessary. If it had been 100 pages shorter, it would have been much better.

A meth addicted killer, who may or may not be a serial killer, the book shows how he played the system to get perks and privileges. Like others before him, he learned how to take advantage by telling anyone who would listen of the many murders he claimed he committed. It shows the flawed justice system that let him get away with crimes over and over. It also gives interesting fact on meth addiction, on scams prisoners use on the Internet to solicit money from gullible pen pals. It shows that way some states are trying to enact legislation to allow past offenses to be brought to light in trials. The fortitude of victim's families is also shown, for those who have has justice prevail and for those still waiting.

The Meth Monster
This is a well-researched and well-written book about a serial killer going by the name of John Paul Chapman from Oklahoma. Although he committed several crimes, the AIFIS program failed to match his fingerprints and he was released to commit further crimes.
He blamed his crimes on his methamphetamine use. When he was captured following a vicious murder, it was learned that his real name was Jeremy Bryan Jones. While in jail, he confessed to a long list of murders and then recanted, saying he made it all up. Thus the actual number of murders he committed is still unknown.
Be advised that the 16 pages of revealing photos are not included in the Kindle book.

Ok
Book is repetitive, yet worth the time. Author spends too much time on politics and abolishing the death penalty. While I agree one innocent person on death row is too many, life without parole is not the answer. And no I have no idea what the answer is, that will have to come from someone smarter than me. Until then we have what we have. All in all it was a decent book.

Dull, superficial and painfully repetitive.
