5.0 out of 5 stars Unbiased and Good, October 16, 2004

This review is from: Lethal Intent (Mass Market Paperback)

Prior to reading this book my only exposure to Aileen Wuernos was Biography and American Justice on A&E. I found the book both informative and heartbreaking. One wonders how Aileen could have become anything other than what she turned out to be. It seems that from them moment of her birth to her execution she was on a collision course with disaster. After reading this book I have no desire to see "Monster". I don't feel that anymore can be said, or that it could be said better than it was done in this book. If you are interested in Aileen Wuernos' life rather than the sensationalism her crimes became, then I highly recommend this book.

I really do recommend this book for people interested in the Wuornos case. Lethal Intent is a highly detailed book, starting from the very beginning of Aileen's tragic life. The book is great for trying to understand why Aileen done what she did, and in an unbiased way. Russell gives you the facts, and lets you come to your own conclusions. The story made me laugh, made me cry, and often made me angry because of the way Aileen was treated. The book is also complete with some excellent pictures of Aileen and her family. I couldn't put the book down once I started. All in all a wonderfully written book!
