This book, (clearly) written by Gacy himself (and without the benefit of an editor), is excellent for those who are already very familiar with the details of his case, and have some understanding of his personality. On it's face, the book is nothing more than "The Lies of John Wayne Gacy: Final Cut" ... but with enough back ground information, the book is an invaluable resource ... It provides the reader with the opportunity (as limited as it may be) to see why it was that Gacy told the stories that he did, what effect he hoped to have on the reader, why he thought that a particular lie might work ... If you are not very familiar with the case, the book is not for you -- if you find a copy, BUY IT ... but set it aside until after you have read another book about Gacy -- I would recommend "Killer Clown" by Terry Sullivan.

It is what it is, and well packaged for the viewer. Most have slipcases, a full signture from Gacy and tell his skewed side of the story. A must-have for a true crime fanatic, but not a must-read.
