Book Reviews of Zodiac
Book Review: Don't Read This Alone at Night!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have never read any work of fiction that can equal this book for sheer terror. California's Zodiac killer began his reign of terror in the late 1960's and was never caught. He never used the same method twice, he sent taunting letters to the police, left many clues, and yet was never found. Graysmith does an outstanding job of making the book read like a highly charged suspense novel, but you have to keep saying to yourself, "These things REALLY happened!" The Zodiac is at the top of the list when it comes to intelligent, calculating, cold-blooded killers. It still gives me a chill thinking about the messages that Zodiac wrote in the ciphers. The most gripping scenes are the stories told by the (few) survivors. I wouldn't want to know the nightmares these people have had to endure over the past 30 years. Graysmith also gives his opinion on who he thinks is/was Zodiac. Again...read it in the DAYTIME!Book Review: Don't read this while you are alone!
Summary: 5 Stars
I couldn't put it down. A great piece of investigative reporting. The saying of truth is stranger than fiction certainly applies to this book. I wish there was a sequel. Very intriguing and horrorfying. Highly recommended for anyone interested in a mystery. This should run on Unsolved MysteriesBook Review: Elusive
Summary: 5 Stars
Several years ago, I read "Zodiac Unmasked" by Robert Graysmith. The disorganized writing style detracted from my enjoyment of the book. I recently got around to reading Graysmith's original book "Zodiac". While this book is much more professionally written, it only differs from "Zodiac Unmasked" in that "Zodiac" refers to prime suspect Arthur Leigh Allen in the alias Robert Hall Starr. Graysmith still has the same suspect in mind for both books and he has only convinced me that to an 80% degree of certainty that Allen is a viable suspect.
Rather than recount the crimes of the Zodiac in this review, I would recommend using several web sites which might give those interested a concise version of the Zodiac. Many aspects of this story that are not in print are suggested on the web, though truthfulness has to be questioned.
The Zodiac Killer may be the most mysterious and elusive serial killer in American history. The continued question about the killer's identity has left readers looking for answers. This book is a good place to start your search to for an answer that may never be found.
Book Review: Fantastic
Summary: 5 Stars
Robert Graysmith has gotten a lot of bad publicity lately but this book is a must-have for anyone interested in the unsolved Zodiac murders.Graysmith lists everything he was allowed to write when this book came out. Thankfully, the sequel (Zodiac Unmasked) has the rest.
Book Review: Fatastic, what a page turner
