4.0 out of 5 stars Appointment for Murder, May 26, 2000

By	Rachel Schremp (St. Augustine, Florida) - See all my reviews

This book is a detailed story of a dentist who lived out his violent fantasies, leading him to murder innocent men. Dr. Engleman's sex life, family life, and religious beliefs are described in a way so that the reader can form an understanding of why he commited his crimes. Bacos does not give much analysis; therefore, it is more like reading a fiction novel than a nonfictious story. The dialogue from the ATF's tapes allows the reader into the mind of a power hungry Mama's boy.

4.0 out of 5 stars APPOINTMENT FOR MURDER, May 6, 2000

By A Customer

This is a story about a very manipulative dentist that tried to control everyone that he knew. His specialty, of course, was using women as a major part of his schemes to get rich. If it wasn't for his ex wife, this story probably would never have been told and Engleman would still be killing innocent people. I feel that this was a very good book and that the author should be praised for being able to write in such detail about this very sick and twisted man.

1.0 out of 5 stars I'd choose no stars if it would let me..., October 1, 2002

By A Customer

I have been reading true crime for at least 17 years now and really, it takes heck of a lot to disappoint me. But this had to be the worse book I've ever read. I finished it only because it was part of my "book club" and other readers were counting on me to finish it. Besides that I really don't like to "quit" anything, so I forced myself as painfully enduring as it was. The book club members weren't happy with it either, in fact we didn't even want to discuss it, which is the point of a book club, and that is pretty bad.

The story itself had the potential of being a great story, unfortunately it was just so incredibly boring. I'm Sorry, I can't recommend it. I bought it because it looked good and the readers reviews were pretty positive, I wonder if we all read the same book? I gave 1 star because it wouldn't let me choose no stars. I only hope my book club will allow me to choose another book.
