4.0 out of 5 stars A book well worth reading!, September 4, 2000
By 
Crystal J. Morton (El Paso, TX (United States)) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Roadside Prey (Paperback)
This is the story of Robert Ben Rhoades, a trucker who preyed on hitchhikers and women he picked up at truckstops. He tortured, then sometimes killed them. Also included is an in-depth look at the woman who was first charmed by him, then slowly exposed to his darker appetites, and went on to marry him and became one of this victims. I also liked the author's detailed explanations of how facial reconstruction can be done from a skull. All in all, a very good book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't trust strangers just like mom always told you...., May 10, 2009
This review is from: Roadside Prey (Hardcover)
This book was very interesting to say the least. I was grossed out by most of the stuff this guy did to the women. Roadside Prey is the true story about Robert Ben Rhoades and his murders and assaults to women that he picked up on the highway, or at truck stops.
The story begins with Rhoades picking up a girl at a truck stop. Just reading the book gave me chills at how the young girls just went with him. He was able to manipulate them and make them feel very comfortable with him. As you read the book you learn more about his personal life and addiction to violent sex. If you can handle explicit detail about women having their bodies tortured with the devices that are shown in the book then you should give this book a chance.
I don't want to give away too much about what exactly happened to the girls, women and young ladies but just know that this guy was a sadistic man.
