This book is not an enjoyable read nor is it fun. It is however a remarkable work of fiction that reflects on the closing hours of a serial killer as he faces his execution. Despite the crimes I felt a sadness for the little boy this killer once was; deserted and alone. This book has left me somewhat melancholy but maybe that isn’t such a bad thing.
