Ted Bundy : Conversations with a Killer

Average rating: Stars

Blah blah blah

First, I want to say that I love Ted Bundy and reading anything about him. That's why this book got 3 stars instead of maybe 1 or 2. From everything else I've read about him, this is nothing new. And the way it's presented is so BORING. You can see how manipulative Ted is in his monologues which are often verbose. A lot of times he doesn't make much sense.

If you've read a lot about Ted Bundy, I wouldn't recommend this book. The Stranger Beside Me by Ann Rule is a much better book. I guess if it's your first time reading about him, it might be interesting.

Ted Bundy : Conversations with a Killer - Stephen G. Michaud, Hugh Aynesworth

Great Information

Stephen G. Michaud ,again, has done an outstanding job in writting a great book about Bundy.

There ARE some new insights not seen in other books regarding Bundy's crimes (Like details of Naslund's and Ott's murders, and some insight on Donna Manson's fate.

Bundy spent the next 10 years on Florida's Death Row, using legal tactics to delay his execution and offering confessions to his crimes in exchange for a reprieve. After years of living in denial - insisting he was innocent - Bundy finally came clean, although he referred to himself in the third person and claimed the killings were carried out by an "entity" within him.

He said he became obsessed by hardcore pornography involving sado-masochism and bondage and said he enjoyed the feeling of being in complete control of his victims. He said the primary motive was rape and that he had to kill the victims to prevent them testifying against him.

Strongly recommended

Stephen G. Michaud, Hugh Aynesworth - Ted Bundy : Conversations with a Killer

Been there, done that....

For some reason people believe that this book - Ted Bundy: conversations with a killer - was the first time Bundy had discussed his crimes. Keppel has been there, done that already. Riverman- Ted Bundy and I hunt for the Green River Killer, has Ted speaking in the 'third' person about his own crimes as well as the Green River killings. In my opinion Keppel's book is far superior to Michaud and Anysworth.

Conversations has some interesting twists and turns to it, but mainly is nothing more than Bundy playing the games he has always played. Bundy the master manipulator all the way to the end.
