Book Reviews of The Misbegotten Son: The True Story of Arthur J. Shawcross
Book Review: A "must have"
Summary: 5 Stars
Very simply: Jack Olsen put together this amazing book that not only had me engaged so intensely that I read it straight through, but it was the book that got me "addicted" to the true crime books. Every other book I read, I hold up in comparison. None have outshone it. The descriptions of the lives and times of the people in the book are so enlivening, you begin to feel you know them in a most authentic way. The book touched and moved me, educated me in the sick ways of a serial killer as well as the sick ways of a society that turns them loose. I strongly recommend, no, I INSIST people read this book. You will not be disappointed! And if you've never read Jack Olsen before, start now.
