LOVED IT!

I have just recently begun to read books on serial killers and this book was my first. I loved every page of this book and I don't think another author could do this good of a job on the topic. Robert Graysmith worked at the San Francisco chronicle during the time period this all happened and he did his share of research. He put together a very informative book about one of the killers who taunted police while killing many and GETTING AWAY WITH IT! I think this is a must read for any true crime fan and especially fans of the Zodaic. I could barely put this book down and like others said it was tough to read near bedtime.

Zodiac - Robert Graysmith

Among the Best in True Crime

The only True Crime books I read are books written by authors who write about notible crimes, are well written and researched, books by authors such as Harold Schechter, Truman Capote's 'In Cold Blood' and I should throw in Erik Larson's 'Devil in the White City' I don't read the tabloid pulp true crime stories by writers who rush their books to the printing press only for profit.

Zodiac is the first true crime book I ever read and that was quite sometime ago yet still memerable. This is a very well writen book about the Zodiac murders. Robert Graysmith certainly did his research to bring you all the accounts of this killer. Included in the book are the letters, puzzles and games the Zodiac sent to the media and police taunting them with hints to discover his identity and with all the information he gave he still continued to get away with his murdering spree. This book scared me. This book is a good book and not outdated. Anyone who wants to read a real true crime book should consider Zodiac

The Kat's Meow!

Since I wrote a lousy short review about Zodiac Unmasked, in all fairness, I thought I'd say that I personally thought this book ZODIAC is excellent. Its an easier read than Zodiac Unmasked. I bought it when it first came out and have read it 5 times. Yes, it scared me. I have been interested in the Z since I was a teen living in Marin county CA at the time of the killings. Last year my step son asked if he could borrow this book. I said NO WAY! This copy doesn't leave my house. If you are new to the Zodiac, read this book. If you want to be frightened, read this book. Every time I go through Vallejo, I think of the Z. As a teen he invaded my thoughts. My friends and I were afraid of him and the subject came up a lot. Once, in 1971, I was riding my horse with a friend and we saw someone in a white, or light-color car acting totally nuts. Who do you think we thought of? For those of us who have been obsessed and haunted by the Z, this book meets our desires.
