Product Description

Product Description

'I'm a good person inside, but when I get drunk, I just don't know. It's just...when I get drunk, don't mess the fuck with me...'. There have been few female serial killers but Aileen 'Lee' Wuornos was an incredible example of this rare species of death-row inhabitants. All-too-often female prostitutes have been the victims of male serial killers - the killings of Wuornos were the inverse of this. She was a child prostitute after running away from an abusive childhood in the hands of her grandparents straight into a disastrous adulthood of difficult affairs with both men and women and prostitution. Her metamorphosis from victim to attacker had brutal consequences: a stream of dead men. Following a renewed interest in this woman after the film 'Monster' this is her story in her own words.

1.0 out of 5 stars Rubbish, 7 Feb 2006
By A. C. Milnes (Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Everything about this book says quick knock-off. Its crudely written and often repeats itself. The author is often melodramatic and takes Wuornos' side only to admit later it might not have happened that way at all.
Its also a deception to call it My Story, passing it off as an autobiography. Wuornos was interviewed by Berry-Dee and thats all. The interviews arent worth much either, even the 50 pages of the police interview, included to pad it out.
If you've seen the movie this won't add anything new.
Avoid.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting read - but little else!, 11 Sep 2004
By Laura (Newark, Nottinghamshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This book looks closely at Aileen's childhood which is extremely interesting but only highlights a 'typical' early profile of a serial killer. If you enjoy true crime this book is fairly enticing in parts, but is very repetitive in style and at points is very difficult to read due to the volume of extracted dialogue from Aileen's case. As a result, you sometimes 'get lost' reading the text. Not bad but don't expect too much!

3.0 out of 5 stars Monster by Christopher Berry-Dee, 11 Nov 2004
I have all of this author's books. A very controversial man who delivers the goods with a strong punch. hated by man, respected by most, lets not forget that he solves murders when the police do not. Monster works well, and makes for powerful read. Like to give it 4 stars but three will do this time around.
