Summary: Another Suggestion
Comment: If you did not like the way this book was written but would like another version, try reading Cries in the Desert by John Glatt. He tells the same story, but it is very well written.
Rating: 1
Summary: lacking
Comment: in the book they have the fbi claiming this creep David Parker Ray killed anywhere from 60 to 90 people...and it's probably true...but where is the full story? you won't find it here. frustrating and tiresome. a confederacy of halfwits. the woman who helped DA Yontz in the second trial appears so be fairly sharp, so does the second judge--but the rest? not too bright. i mean even the serial killer actually appears to be a better writer than the guy who wrote this book. i'd like to see the whole/complete horror tale written by someone better suited than this particular writer.
Rating: 1
Summary: not very effective
Comment: Not well done at all. The writer jumps around needlessly, therefore destroying any suspense in the telling. Also too many halfwits in this tale, and that includes the attorneys--it's because of the prosecutor that the first trial ended in a hung jury, mistrial.
Hate to say this, but about the only individual with any intelligence at all appears to be the twisted sicko named David Parker Ray.
yes, there is definitely a powerful, gut churning story here and ought to be told/written by someone who knows how to do it.
About 15, 20 percent of this is worth reading--as far as the rest? A waste of time. Exchanges beyween DA Yontz and teen reporter Frances Baird are tiresome and go nowhere, never add to the story or keep moving it along at all.
We also feel that the whole story was not told here; too much was left out, pieces missing. someone needs to tell this story from the very beginning of Rays' childhood, and track down all the people who knew him, etc.and keep the story moving in chronological order. As it stands, this book is a frustrating mess. Fielder hops around too much. This writer should go back and re-read Truman Capote's In Cold Blood to see how it's done. Slow Death is one of the dullest true crime books I have ever read.
