| I found the start of the book where Alice describes the rape quite disturbing but gripping at the same time. I wanted to keep reading to find out how someone could possibly recover from such an ordeal.
Like others have said I felt like the book lost momentum in the latter chapters. After her attacker was brought to justice and Alice left University it kind of felt like the story finished. I suppose this is inevitable as it was a true story and not a piece of fiction with drama right ... Read More: |

| In 1973 in Casper, Wyoming, the paths of two twenty something lowlifes, Ronald Kennedy and Jerry Jenkins, intersected with that of two half-sisters, eighteen year old Becky Thompson and eleven year old Amy Burridge. None of their lives would ever be the same again. Becky and Amy had just finished up some last minute grocery shopping at a local store, when they realized that they had a flat tire. Kennedy and Jenkins offered to help them and give them a ride home.
Once they were in the car, ... Read More: |

| 'Men Who Rape - the psychology of the offender' is an authoritative and in-depth look at one of the most horrifying and yet hugely misunderstood forms of criminal deviance. The text itself draws on much major research on the subject providing and accurate account of what motivates offenders and how they are subsequently grouped (anger rapists, power rapists & sadistic rapists). More importantly though, it dispels some of the most pervasive and ultimately damaging myths that surround the subject. The ... Read More: |

| When I read the first quarter of this book, I was sickened beyond belief as to what these 2 men had done to this innocent girl. I had almost decided not to read anymore, but I felt compelled to find out what happened to them. The author did such a good job of describing the victum and the corrupt legal system that seems to defend savage criminals, while the loved ones of the victims are forced to suffer through years of legal stalling by the defense. I couldn't sleep well at night for a while after reading ... Read More: |
