Worst serial killer book I have ever read...it focuses more on the author than Gacy himself. It was jumbled thoughts that were hard to follow and the typos and misspelled words were constant. This isn't a book any true crime fan should read. It seems a pointless attempt to make money off of a childhood friendship that ended long before the killings began. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone.

This is another book that was awful to read. Doesn't anyone edit books anymore before they are published? This book had typos, misspelled words, incomplete sentences, run-on sentences, and the impression that a five year old wrote it. The book gave absolutely no real incite to the reason for John Wayne Gacy becoming the way he did. I think there was more to the story. I think his father may very well have been gay and probably sexually abused him. He had some weird sexual ideas at a very early age. Did the father ever in his life smile? The father was weird and the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I am sorry that Johnny was abused the way he was and not one appropriate adult stood up for him. I know what that feels like. However, 33 young men payed with their lives for the "monster" the Gacys created.

Very charming book. Brought back many memories of my old neighborhoods in Chicago. It was an interesting insight into John Wayne Gacys childhood. A good read.
