I read 60% of this before I chose to skim the remainder, not because of the severity and gruesomeness of the crime, but because of the writing itself. First off, the small print underneath Gacy's name on the cover bears true: it has as much to do about Gacy's lawyer (also the author) himself as it does about Gacy. This does not normally bother me, but in this case, I did not like it. The writing was laxed and informal, with sentences like this- "Ok, David Cram...not a brain surgeon, and so on and so forth, ya know." I found Amirante to be sarcastic, failing in his attempts to be humorous (I assume that's what he was going for) and it seemed callous instead, considering we are talking about the brutal murder of numerous boys. At times he talked condescendingly about the police and made comments that felt like he was trying to garner sympathy for Gacy, the guy with the "broken mind." I wonder, where is all the sympathy for the boys he strangled and those families who will never be whole again because of his actions?… (més)
