Still having nightmares
May 03, 2010
The insanity in this book stills gives me nightmares. I can't in my wildest imagination see a father do this to his family. How one human being can destroy so many others lives is amazing to me. You will not be able to put this book down. Scarier than anything I have read before or since. This man should have been put down like the deranged dog he is. Very well written and researched.

Amazing Account of a Fathers Insanity
January 20, 2010
If you want to know the truth? This book is a compilation of facts. A father is a master manipulator and con-artist who victimizes his family. Incest, prostitution, murder and lies but, it's all true.
It is a great disappointment that the father does not get incarcerated forever. The legal machine does not work as you would hope.
A good read for those who are interested in the stange way people live and the legal system trying to do their best.

Well written, well researched. Most of us can't imagine living the way this family did. So many lives ruined by just one crazy/evil man. How much do you know about YOUR next door neighbor?

This book is a real eye opener to what goes on in the world around us. I wish there was a way to find all the children in these situations!! I am sure our society as a whole would step up to help them out. Even though our legal system is out to protect and serve the criminals~!~!

A horrifying look into the heart of evil
October 07, 2009
This book is a tough read when your thoughts drift to these children who were so damaged and will live their lives with the evil that they were born into. It's difficult to imagine their being able to enjoy normal human emotion. I have a special appreciation for the true crime genre, as I am researching a case myself and plan to write a book. It is extremely difficult to write about a character that most people would find so completely repulsive. For that I give the author great "props".
