This book was quite interesting because the authors actually spent time interviewing Ted Bundy before his death but i found a lot of it mainly information we already know about the murders and Bundy mind you how much more is there to learn I suppose. There are some chilling accounts from witnesses and Bundy himself that are interesting to read.

A truly fascinating insight in to the mind and crimes of notorious Ted Bundy.

Bundy never properly confessed instead he 'speculated' in third person during countless of interviews with Michaud and Aynesworth.

The final number of victims given by Bundy was 30.

Bundy was known for his charismatic personality but what kind of person was he really? Although attorneys attempted to have him plead insanity Bundy maintained he was sane. It is believed he suffered with Bipolar disorder. This book is one of the best true crime books I've ever read. There are interviews not only with Bundy but others involved in his crimes and eventual execution.

Highly recommend this for anyone with an interest in true crime.

This has to be the most in-depth and intensively researched books written about the notorious serial killer, Ted Bundy. Michaud and Aynesworth were granted access to Bundy whilst he was incarcerated, and between them they carried out hundreds of hours of interviews, painstakingly transcribed to build up a picture of Bundy's early life right through to his eventual execution via the electric chair. A fascinating insight into one of the most infamous killers who has inspired many books, films and documentaries. Whilst Bundy did not directly confess to the authors, he spoke in the third person and was willing to 'speculate' as to why and how someone would commit the atrocities he did. The book covers his early life and adolesence, as the first signs of a disordered mind began to reveal themselves. It gave a detailed account of his crimes, his escape from prison and the courtroom and how he was able to evade the authorities for so long. We see the escalation in his frenzied attacks and his ultimate unravelling as he awaited his fate on Death Row. This book was so well-executed (no pun intended), never sensationalist and deeply fascinating. Whilst clearly not the easiest book to read, it was however one I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone interested in true crime and psychology.

I was really keen to read this book after watching the Ted Bundy documentary on netflix. It is very well written and contains lots of information that I didn't already know
