This book has truly broadened my mind. I had no idea that anyone was capable of the acts which Ted Bundy committed on others. In their writing of this book, Aynesworth and Michaud have clearly revealed new insights into the depraved mind of Ted Bundy. They did not even hope to extract a confession from him, but their innovative style which allowed him to project his abnormal fantasies onto a fictitious third person has given the world a frightening glimpse into Bundy's mind. Do not read this book at night.

It's not often that you are able to hear a serial killers' own words and this book gives you the opportunity to do that. Ted Bundy suffered no guilt and had no remorse for his terrible acts. Instead, he blamed his environment and the kind of society in which he lived.
I got the impression that speaking in the third person gave him a 'kick.' It was his way of not confessing to the murders, but being given leave to speak of them just the same. It is debatable whether he should have been given a 'voice', something he denied his victims.
Was he mad? Legally not, because he knew what he was doing.Was he bad? Most definitely yes. In order to see his self-delusion, you need to read a book about his crimes, written in light of the facts, not in the light of his justifications.

I really liked this book, and think that if people want to know about Bundy I suggest reading this. It's insightful into his mind, and how he felt about the murders, he even talks about a time when he resists killing a girl (instead he gets her drunk to have sex with her). I think talking about it in third person gives him a chance to detatch himself from everything. He was definatly unhinged and he should have been locked into a mental hospital so we could learn from him.
I particulaly love the part when he talks about his sock fetish and the "most attractive feet you've ever seen."
