Book Reviews of The Man Who Killed Boys: The John Wayne Gacy, Jr. Story
Book Review: one of the worst of the genre
Summary: 1 Stars
Having read between 60-100 true crime books, including three onGacy, I feel qualified to critque this. The book simply skims thesurface in a shameful tabloid manner. The two other Gacy books, Buried Dreams & Killer Clown, were far superior in quality and mass. Gacy was a despicable human being, but even he deserved a better biography than this. This book doesn't offer much more than a few good photos. If it's information you are seeking, then I recommend Buried Dreams by Tim Cahill w/ Russ Ewing. Gacy wasn't a very interesting man to begin with, you could see through him like cellophane. He was sadistic, childish, and ignorant. I corresponded with him for a while and I would not only suggest skipping this book, but I would also recommend finding a better subject to read about. Try Randy Kraft, Jeffrey Dahmer, Dennis Nilsen or Gary Gilmore. Now Ian Brady, there's a sick mind worth exploring!Book Review: Gacy a Yawn
Summary: 3 Stars
I was underwhelmed by this book. It's too short, and doesn't delve deeply enough into the question "why". I also found the writer's description of gay life in Chicago to be homophobic and insultingBook Review: You can't put it down!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read many books on Gacy and by far this is the most insightful one out there.
