The Psychology Student Writer's Manual
While I was looking for this book on my shelf because this was the one where I noticed how biased Ann Rule started to write and I use it a lot as an example,I discovered I had forgotten to register it on Goodreads.
Checked bookcrossing where I am not active anymore and bingo.
Here is what I wrote about this book back then.
Journal Entry 4 by CrazyDutchwoman from Heemstede, Noord-Holland Netherlands on Wednesday, January 12, 2005
Hi,I am at around page 80. It was a nice surprise for me to see it weren't a lot of stories but just one story.
I prefer those. I agree that her stories are very good, although I read A Rage to kill (short stories) and did not like that one at all.
Anyway this one seems like a good one. Curious what is going to happen.
I will update this journal while reading.
take care
Update January 18 2005
Finished reading this morning. In between I had to read another book so it took me longer then I,d normally would)
I do not know what it is Ann Rule is one of the authors, that got me hooked to the True Crime genre but I think her older books are much better written or it is me?
Her writing in this book started to annoy me. Every thing Chris did was good . I do not understand stuff. Lyisa told everybody he hit her. I do not believe he did not know that. He was once confronted about it, well if it was me and I would constantly hear my wife told everybody I hit her, I would definitely take action.
Plus I think I had trouble reading this book because I hated that she got away with so many stuff. She always got her way, the houses ,the kids with Nick. It made me so angry.
I am glad she is in jail.
Still have questions after reading it. I think it is a depressing book. It is good do not get me wrong but maybe I was not in the right mood while reading?
