I have just seen "Monster" several times and was so interested in finding out why this woman ended up so thoroughly messed up. For some reason Amazon's seach engine did not bring up any books on Aileen Wournos other than this one, so I bought it.

Find another book. First of all the print is so tiny it's like reading fine print. The author, instead of writing the usual biograpy starting with the beginning of the person's life, or starting with the end and flashing back, is all over the map. It's like the manuscript fell on the floor, was picked up in a slap happy manner, then published.

I don't think author Delores Kennedy could get an interview with Wournos and seems like the only information she got was from the same sources as everyone else: the newspapers and some court transcripts. However, I believe she got lots of interviews with Wournos's hangers-on, the people who she grew up with and some who were there just for the money and attention.Nothing new in the photo section. More pictures of hangers-on than Aileen.

I'm trying to finish this book, but it puts me to sleep every night. Find another book if you're interested in this tragic woman. This for sure ain't it.
