Customer Reviews

I Enjoyed It

I saw from other comments that people wanted to know about Elizabeth Bathory. I saw that the author wrote about women she felt were evil and wanted facts to back up her thoughts. Elizabeth Bathory's bloodshed and tortures are not eye witness accounts and are purely based on theories and possibilities. So, don't argue why you hate a book unless it truly sucked beyond anything. I enjoyed the book and found it to be more informative than other books I have read.

actually...

first, a note on one of the previous reviews: there was a complaint that nothing was mentioned of eleizabeth bathory, which i find valid- i would have liked to read more about her. But you also complained that there was nothing on Karla Homolka. Clearly you didnt read the entire book, as Karla was the last chapter, and rather nicely covered. now then, while i'll admit that some of the historical ones were slightly boring and also didnt seem too bad because everyone killed everyone back then, I thought this book was awesome, because there were a lot of cool people featured in it, who did commit some pretty horrible crimes. Should they be the only ones in the book? no, there are probably many more women who qualify. but it all depends on what perpective you are coming from
