Don Lasseter

This was a pretty sad story. While Jennifer Rodriguez certainly did not deserve to be murdered, I can't help but feel annoyed with her because she already had a BF, and cheated on him with the man who eventually murdered her. The BF was also seriously injured by this crazy asshole and is now in a wheelchair. I can't help but feel for him, because damn, it's bad enough when your woman steps out on you, but when her lover permanently fucks up your life.

Again, people should NOT be murdered for show more cheating, but cheating is bad too, mmkay. show less

Well, I was disappointed to learn the disgusting P.O.S. perpetrator John Famalaro still lingers on death row.This is a complete overview, including wrong leads, fruitless flyering, and courtroom testimony, before concluding with the deserved (IMHO) death penalty. This is a class story that feels like a parable of parental concern for single daughters. A young woman coming home from a concert breaks down on the highway after 2 a.m. and later her degraded corpse the result of a violent death show more is found frozen in a freezer. show less

Zodiac of Death is a collection of mini biographies of some of the most notorious killers in the 20th Century written by true crime reporter Dan Lasseter followed an explanation of their horoscope that astrologist Dana Holliday attempts to explain as fulfilling the individual’s destiny. After reading the first individual’s biography and horoscope, I instantly decided to skip all the rest of the horoscopes as I did not understand anything written and didn’t want to waste my time with show more the rest of the book figuring those sections out. That meant I was reading the mini biographies—basically life and crimes in “wonderful” detail—of some of the worst human beings who’ve walked the earth and frankly I wanted to get through it as quickly as possible to get this book off my shelf and to a used book store. show less

Re reading.It was funny to open this book and to find few words written in it. it said this was my second English book so after y first book written in English which was Gary King's Blood Lust, I had bought this book and also very much liked it. Now I am spoiled and have read so many true crime books I am not sure I would like it as I did then but it still gives me a good feeling.

(I had to pick a physical book cause I loaned out my kindle adapter to my daughter (she also borrowed my phone show more which needs the same adapter) so my kindle was empty but I have so many unread real books on my shelves but of course I picked another book I had already read. ;)


Update May 29 2014

Finished last night and I can truly say and I am glad to that this book was just as good as when I first read it. I was worried that like with other re reads this book would not be the same because when I read it I was still a newbie concerning true crime reads. Gad to say I gave it 4 stars back then at bookcrossing's but I could easily give it 5 stars now.

This book is not that once you've read the first 2 chapters you do not even have to read any further because all the interesting stuff was spilled already. Yes like many books this has a prologue which I never read until I have finished, so if you skip that you will be with them when they start doing what they did and later you will get to know the victims and the 2 killers.

I even enjoyed reading about the trial so yes I think this one deserves 5 stars. show less
