Book Reviews of Billionaire Boys Club
Book Review: Evil Incarnate
Summary: 5 Stars
I am amazed that there are not more reviews of this book, especially given the fact that this case was so highly publicized. There was also a t.v. movie of the same name and it has been documented that Lyle and Eric Menendez were "inspired" by the movie to commit the horrific murders of their parents.
This is the true story of Joe Hunt, a brilliant psychopath who, several years after graduating from the exclusive Harvard School in Los Angeles, formed a club he named the BBC. This club was made up of other young men from affluent families who wanted to make big money fast. The club was to be part investment and part social. The boys would live together, pool their resources and live by Joe's creed of "Paradox Philisophy", which was simply Joe's way of exercising control and manipulation over the other members.
Joe's investments soon go awry and he ends up loosing the money that other people have trusted him to invest for them. When things get out of control, Joe plots murder and kidnapping and that is when the book really takes off. I could not put it down!
This is an excellent true crime story which focuses on Joe Hunt's ruthless anti-social personality. It is an excellent portrait of an evil sociopath.
True crime fans will love this book! I highly recommend it.
