Worst book ever, this is a rip off! It's not at all what is described...

I was very disappointed in the quality and supposed insight in this book! All it is a collection of some poems from Mt. Berkowitz. Although the poems are good, there is no good reason to pay [amt] for them. It seems there is a definite attempt to discredit all that Mr. Berkowitz is doing now to make up for all the pain he has caused. It has been almost 25 years since this crime took place and if I am going to spend my money on a book about Mr. Berkowitz I would expect it to be more worthwhile. It seems the writer has a vendetta or something against Mr. Berkowitz. I found much better info on Mr. Berkowitz on his own personal website.... They have there his daily journal which is much more interesting to read than this book! I would give it ZERO STARS if possible!

This book has to be the worst book I have ever purchased! I was so disappointed in it! I found nothing in it that was new and it seemed like the people who wrote it never graduated from elementary school! They are ex-cons who have a vendetta against David Berkowitz. I really can't recommend it to anyone. Save your money!

the poems written by david berkowitz in prison show a warmth and sensitivity that prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that david has had a deep change of heart. they could not have been written by that raving maniac who called himself "son of sam". Jesus said out of the heart the mouth speaks. the writer of these poems is a tender hearted, sensitive man. "son of sam" is dead.

I believe that Berkwoitz is really a born again christian. He may have been baptized before the killings but he was not born again. Being born again is something that happens in your heart. If he really was pretending im sure he would have taken parole but he said he deserves to be in jail for what he has done, isnt that proof enought that he he is sincere?

IF ANYONE WAS PAYING ATTENTION YOU WOULD HAVE NOTICED THAT SOME OF THESE POEMS WERE WRITTEN WHEN HE CLAIMED TO BE THE "SON OF HOPE". JUST THOUGHT YOU MIGHT LIKE TO KNOW THAT!

There is only one way for anyone to crawl up inside the mind of another, and that MUST come from the horses mouth, so to speak, and that's all we've tried to do here. .. in his own words and thougts.
The book has not been written yet (!) that knows or understands the mind of David Berkowitz. Like all he does NOW is to project a new image that has respectable Ministries vying his attention> He is frighteing!!! aside from being a great actor. I have sixteen years of him in my mind, and don't know ow to get it out???

quote: berkowitz is so smart he can MAKE people believe what he wants them to believe

David Berkabum still doesn't understand WHY he SLAUGHTERED HIS VICTIMS.

You're saying this guy's reformed and yet he still doesn't know why he slaughered his victims. You're saying the space shuttle's safe to fly but you can't understand why the Columbia broke apart? Doesn't repentance involve taking the time to examine your conscience? Taking the time to understand why you made mistakes?

There are also many lies and inconsistances in his testimony.For example, did any of you born agains know that he was a born again christian long before he slaughtered? Yeah that's right, he was baptized in a baptist church in 1974. Attended church services regularly. Was an active member.

I hope not all born again christians consider this slaughter boy their hero...To do so is to advocate what he's done.

I wont buy your book! Are you floating in money now? He didnt fool anyone. The Christian grows over time. Good Try though. :)
