This is a first person
narrative of a man on death row writing his memoirs, why because he has nothing
else to do.
I liked the rambling
talking to himself style, it really fitted the story and gave the impression of
him slowly unravelling and then going boom!
MS was good at describing
the emotions or lack thereof and making this murderer appear normal.
The “off milk” comment
did make me gag a little but the mint dish sounded very practical.
MS did some. good finger
pointing at the judicial system and general human nature.
A good ending with a
little after thought which wrapped the story up well. Yes there are some disgusting bits but no
more than you would read in a real crime novel.
Whilst I would say this
is one of the best MS books I have read I felt he could have put more into the
murders, given a few more examples, especially of the trophies and really laid
the gore on a bit more thickly, I suppose really I would like this to be expanded to a novella maybe,
or even longer.
