I was super disappointed in this book after reading the first one; I expected a different layout with lots of brand new information, but was instead surprised to find that this book was simply a condensed version of the first. The “new bits” of information were small, and were often buried amongst the writer’s self-proclamations of his findings of said new, exclusive information that did nothing to shed new light on the murders. I found the not-so-subtle bragging of his first book’s success to be extremely irritating. This book read more like a personal memoir than a true crime documentation. It should be portrayed as an autobiography of the writer and his experience of writing a book about Ted Bundy, rather than as a book about Ted Bundy.
With that being said, I loved the first book and would highly recommend this book as a shortened and less in-depth investigation version of the first. If you aren’t ready to dive into a long and committing read, I’d go for this one rather than the first.
