Ted Bundy: The Crimes of America's Most Notorious Serial Killer

Rate this book
If you want a view into the mind of a serial killer and America’s most notorious at that, then Ted The Crimes Of America’s Most Notorious Serial Killer is for you. As you look back at Bundy’s childhood after digesting what he did to his unknown number of female victims, then behaviors such as playing with knives and placing them around his sleeping aunt take on a new meaning. Which was more influential in contributing to his killing behavior between the deception about his parentage and his letdown when Stephanie Brooks dumped him when the two were dating in college? Can we know anything meaningful or significant from a man whose testimony to various people through the years consists as much of contradiction as it does statements of fact? By all accounts, it is hard to point to or single out any one specific episode in his life that would have sent him out on a murderous course at the beginning of his adult life. Bundy’s story is full of disguise, deception, evasion and a bizarre quest for control on all levels where others were concerned. This compelling account sheds light on the details of the life of the man whose sequence of killings provided the blueprint for investigating mass murderers.

A nice timeline and overview of Bundy. Nothing in depth and a very quick read. A few truly ridiculous typos like calling Bundy by the wrong name and getting dates wrong .... on a timeline.

Ted Bundy

This is an intriguing insight into the case of one of America's most notorious serial killers. A little clinical in places this is still a good read.

Well written and concise

Tom King has created a good concise and definitive book on the awful crimes of a narcissistic psychopath killer Ted Bundy. Tom's writing is without histrionics nor does he indulge in over detailed descriptions of the way Bundy's victims were killed and defiled. It is nevertheless a book well worth reading by anyone who has an interest in history generally. look forward to reading more history from this author

A Short Yet Interesting Read

Overall the book was good if a little short, but that's OK. There are a few grammatical errors which briefly pull you away from the book itself. The chapters relating to the victims could have done with being written differently, they feel like reading a shopping list. If you are interested in the subject matter, it is a good book to start with.

This is not a book.

I cannot fathom why this is characterized as a book. It took barely 20 minutes to read and contains no information that has not already appeared in countless books, newspapers and magazines. At least it was free.

Good

This book offered me no new information that I had already got from several other books that I read including Ann Rule's book "Stranger Beside Me" but it was still a good book to read.

Boring

Nothing new at all, although the writing itself isn't bad. Author had little insight into Ted's childhood. Too many errors for the author to have actually done his own research . Not recommended.
