MyBookAddiction | Hi ha 5 ressenyes més | Aug 24, 2013 | This was a story about a manuscript purported to have been written by Jack the Ripper of his escapades. The storyline was part fact and part fiction. I especially liked the first person narrative, the Ripper was supposed to be James Carnac, he at one point had studied to be a doctor but quit early on.He had at one point began to hear voice and saw demons of his ancestors. This person if he truly existed should have been in a mental institution. The characters were developed well.
I would recommend this book to any Ripper fans.
Thank you to Net Galley and Sourcebooks.… (més)

druidgirl | Hi ha 5 ressenyes més | Jun 10, 2013 | AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF JACK THE RIPPER
James Carnac; Sourcebooks; 2013
A powerful book detailing James Carnac’s life and his time as ‘Jack the Ripper’.
Taken from a diary found sealed within an envelope and in the belongings from his personal estate, one is left to wonder if this truly is the diary of the infamous Jack The Ripper!
Written in first person tense, the reader is led through Carnac’s life and the traumatic event which triggered him to kill and forever doomed Carnac to life as ‘The Ripper”.
Though parts of the diary have apparently been removed as too graphic, there are still many moments in the book which leave one utterly chilled.
Also included as part of the diary is an explanation for the mysterious why of Jack the Ripper’s abrupt stop to his brutal killings.
Is this really the “Autobiography of Jack the Ripper”? Or another man’s novel attempt to explain him? You decide…… (més)

DBettenson | Hi ha 5 ressenyes més | Apr 6, 2013 | Whether this is a true autobiography is open to debate (I want to believe it) but that doesn't detract from it being a fascinating study. We've all heard or read of the theories surrounding the identity of the Whitechapel murderer and this book gives a whole new profile of the murderer and his reasoning. Well worth reading, even if you're a bit jaded with all the speculation. If it's true, then we know who he is and the true reason for the murders. If it's a piece of fiction then hats off to the author - we are left guessing again!… (més)
