Helpful Score: 2

This case is twisted and shows once again people standing by when they know something is wrong. Because they do stand by people die. This woman is a nut case. Within the first several pages you knew she had serious mental problems. I am not saying in the legal defense theory (knowing right from wrong) she surely did know. From a layman's point of view I believe she is delusional and a sexual sadist. This combination made a personalty that believed she was designed to rid the world of the "evil men" that came into her life. She took care to conceal her crimes so she did know it was wrong. In her sadistic state she committed them But... in her delusional state she justified them.

I have never found a book that was so difficult to read. Not the story but the structure of the book. There are entire pages with no paragraph breaks. So much information packed into those pages it is hard to process it all and found myself re-reading them. I am sure it is due in part to her ramblings but still it was difficult reading. Especially the trial part. I had to keep setting the book aside and read another I had started just to get a break from the irritation. I am happy I finally finished it. However as another reviewer said it ends without it really being ended.
