Never to old to be effective

A friend of mine gave me a copy of this book. The effectiveness of this book is not marred by age. My God, I felt like I was there and my heart ached for those children. No matter how many times we hear about this on the news, it is never as effective as hearing it from the horses mouth. Wow!

getting a "6th sense" on pedophiles

This is an excellent book!!!It really allows you to get into the mind of a pedophile. And see how they think. It almost allows you to pick out the pedophiles that you unknowingly come in contact with, just by observing behaviors that were picked up from reading this book.

Monster Book Review

This book is perhaps the most frightening and yet enlightening thing I have experienced in reading a true crime account that I can remember. The author, in an attempt to help parents gain clear insight into the mind and methods of a child predator, uses the predator himself to tell you what he has in mind for children, literally documenting his life of seeking out, molesting, and even killing children. I was surprised that it wasn't a story form, there are no embellishments to make it frighten the reader, it did not need any, just to know what was on Westley Dodd's mind will scare you to death! The author comments from time to time, just enough to make you think about what you are about to encounter, never enough to distract you. It is chilling and thought provoking. I will never again leave my children unattended for a second after reading this book,even though has Dodd been executed, I now know that there are many more just like him lurking out there. If that is all the author intended, it is enough for me. I recommend any parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, etc...that love the children in their family to read this book and pass it on. I feel empowered by this book, it has changed my perspective and isn't that the purpose in reading?
