In this book Ron is first exposed to a serial killer while interviewing him. It explains how Ron chose his name and where he began planning his future murders. It is after he has written his first book that failed due to his lack of understanding of how murders were committed. This book was just okay for me. It tells the stories of Lesters criminal activity but not with enough variation that the situational felt new. Nothing about Lester's victims made you empathize with them, not because they are hooker but more because you know nothing about their personalities or lives. You learn how Lester has shaped himself into a serial killer and that he would have never quit because it is what makes him feel good. 

What I still wonder is Ron's story. I can't imagine that after interviewing Lester he just decided to start killing women without a sliver of empathy. He was also very secretive about his life and made lied about his life while with Nicole in the previous books. So what really made him a murderer? Was he displaying sign as a child? Were the tendencies just lying in wait for a catalyst the whole time? Still so many question ...but it was still a good book to spend the evening reading.
