Compelling, Truthful account of a power hungry boy

This true-crime book is about 18 year-old Darren Huenemann, and his struggles to come to grips with reality. It explains his diabolical scheme to off his mother and his wealthy grandmother to get his inheritance early. It gives insight into Darren's thought pattern and his deepening interest in Albert Camus's brilliant play Caligula, and how he tries to emulate the tyrannical Roman Emperor in his day to day life. Darren's irresistable and manipulative personality lures in two outcasts, Derik Lord and David Muir, who Darren manipulates to commit the grizzly murders. The book gives extensive information on the backgrounds of Doris Leatherbarrow and Sharon Huenemann, the two victims. Overall "Such a Good Boy" is a thrilling and flawlessly written book and I highly recommend it and its movie counterpart, Scorn.
