Fantastic true story of an above-average overachieving college student who sets off on a 'project' to get into the mind of some of the most notorious serial killers.
I was saddened to read that Jason committed suicide this past June. Read this book - you will see as I did that this man appeared to have such a wonderful future ahead of him.

incredible story about a kid (18) who corresponds with different serial killers. He eventually goes to visit john wayne gacy. Sometimes repetitive and real freaky.... great read i couldn't put it down.

This book is pretty disturbing, really. It is a fascinating look into both the minds of serial killers and also the mind of someone willing to get involved with them. It definitely had an impact on me, though I am not entirely sure it was positive. The fact that it is so thought-provoking made it worth the read.

Interesting book, well written but all through it you keep wondering what mom let her kid be pen pals with some of the worst serial killers of all time. This book does put a diffrent spin on the whole serial killer genre. I read it in two dayz keeps you interested

I found this book easy to read took me two days..(thats usally the norm for me when i find it hard to put book down) Unusual true story of an intelligent 18 year old kid that had a bright future, who befriended serial killers and played along with them to get inside their minds, almost at his life's expense. Good read.

A great book if you are in to reading books of true crime.
This is a good look at what can happen to you if you get to
set into the the trap of it "Won't happen to me".
I do not think the general public should be allowed to visit
serial killers or those on death row, just for the "fun of it"
or entertainment purposes or even to write a paper on it.
The events of the book are exactly why, I do believe they continued
to haunt him to his grave. Excellent story.
I hope he and his family have some peace now.
