Embarrassed for them!, March 26, 2005
This review is from: Mammoth Book of Women Who Kill (Mammoth Books) (Paperback)
This is the worst edited and written book I have ever read in my lifetime. Solely due to the fact that I didn't have anything else in the house to read, I painstakingly read a few chapters and after three or four pages, I broke out the red pen. I am thinking of returning my edited version back to the publisher.

Not the way to write a book, March 15, 2004
This review is from: Mammoth Book of Women Who Kill (Mammoth Books) (Paperback)
Some stories of the book are terrifying, some are boring and many of them are alike, some of the killers are important celebrities, some of them just kill once and some of them kill just a dozen, but when you finish the book you won't care anything about these killers, why? Because when you read 10 or 15 stories you will know how will be the next story in this book. RGJ wrote to many stories just because all of the killers were women and he wanted to write many pages, but he might write just the celebrities or the serial killers, but he went through the past and if he found a woman who kills somebody he just wrote it in the book, that is not the way to write a book.
