A review by ginabelle
The Girl in Alfred Hitchcock's Shower by Robert Graysmith

1.0

I was so disappointed in this book and I think I read it so fast, to be frank, to get it over with. I didn’t care to learn half the details and the writing was unorganized, repetitive, and boring. The author came across as a bit inappropriate at times especially with descriptions of women and I didn’t care to learn his story. The most interesting bits he fit into the shortest chapters! I think we was trying to do a true crime a-la-“Devil in the White City” alternating between the making of something (“Psycho” in this case) and the movements of a serial killer, but it didn’t land. Unimaginative and disappointing—especially coming from a Hitchcock fan! I’ve seen documentaries better than this book and would’ve learned more in a fraction of the time. Not for me!
