This
author has now decided to set his sight internationally in order to illustrate
that these maniacal individuals exist in the rest of the “civilized” world and
has chosen to begin with three of the most infamous individual who all came
from Colombia and who Mr. Rosewood has correctly described as being monsters
due to what they’ve done to their victims, essentially all of them being
children, as well as their sheer numbers: Luis Garavito, Daniel Camargo
Barbosa, and Pedro Lopez.
Just
read what the author wrote in the introduction to this book:
“…The
three men who have set records for their kills each targeted children, using
various tricks to lure them away from safety, including candy, money, and
various disguises. And while it is unfathomable that together these three men
are believed to be responsible for the deaths of more than 500 children, what
is even more impossible to believe is that the punishments in no way fit their
crimes…
…Each
is the stuff of nightmares, and while Garavito is still behind bars and Barbosa
is dead at the hands of a fellow prisoner, Lopez is free, his whereabouts
unknown, making him a likely subject of many a horror story told ‘round a
campfire…”
The
stories of these three might be able to turn the stomachs of some readers who
consider themselves psychologically strong enough to handle what I feel are
extremely gory details of their actions.
As
in the rest of the bookS he’s written, the author has included information of
the childhood background of his subjects which could have set the stage for their
actions.
For
having taken the time to collection the information needed to write this book,
and for presenting it in an enjoyable reading manner I’m giving this book 5
STARS.
The
best things in life are free, which is why I consider myself fortunate to have
once again won a mobi.file copy of this book through a giveaway the author had
on LibraryThing. The above as always has been my honest opinion.
