Product Description

Review

You won't need reminding of the case. But if you want to understand how and why it happened, this book is the one to get. It is no cuttings job - the authors are respected journalists who spent a year in Austria dedicated to the case.
--London Paper, 26th May 2009


Review

I was up with (this) excellent and calmly written book till one o'clock in the morning and am still feeling the after-effect.

5.0 out of 5 stars suprising page turner, 16 Jun 2009
By E. Richards - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've not really read any crime books before and I was amazed at how engrossing a biographical account can be. I couldn't put it down. What really drew me in was the way in which the authors draw this clear psychological portrait of Fritzl. The book isn't salacious or demonizing, it's just cold accounting of his rationale for doing these terrible acts. And that's the terrifying part, you really start to understand the dysfunctional family dynamics. Dynamics that started way before Elizabeth, that were born out of the atrocities of Nazi Austria and his horrifying one-eyed mother. This is a really great read.

4.0 out of 5 stars It made me cry, 1 Jun 2009
By J. Hynes (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Finally I feel as if I sort of understand how this horrible thing happened - the authors dig back not just to Josef's mother, but to HER mother and the whole twisted "family values" - love and hate seem to intertwine and blend. But when he drags Elisabeth into the cellar, the writing is so vivid that I almost felt sick, and found tears running down my face. This is the only book that goes all the way through the trial, so has closure that the others don't.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book, 13 Jul 2009
By EGS (UK) - See all my reviews
This book is amazing. It takes the reader through the life of Josef Fritzl, and in fact through the hard and brutal life of his mother before him, so that we get some insight into what brought about his character. The author does this without at any point being sensationalist or salacious. I thoroughly recommend the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awful subject - so interesting
I can't put this book down. As I said, an awful subject but so so interesting. What an awful person he was, even as a young boy. Read more
