Well I finished it. I agree with you kafka, it was a very detailed book although some times to detailed, especially in the beginning. I enjoyed the book more when we started to learn more about Danny Rolling and his family.
Also enjoyed reading the appendix which contained the testimonies for instance by the mother of rolling.
But I do think the writer could have shortened the book a bit. It felt like she was repeating herself, especially about the days of the murder.
Overall I think her writing style is good.
7.5
