Not necessarily what I expected, but amusing enough. The plot wasn't particularly surprising, but I didn't feel like quitting half way though, so that's something. Gonna read part two before deciding whether I like the characters or not.

John Wayne Cleaver is not your average teen-aged sociopath. Yes, he's had an obsession with serial killers since he learned at age eight about his accidental namesake John Wayne Gacy. He's above average in intelligence, and has a childhood history of bed-wetting, fascination with fire, and the tortu...

I... liked this?I did, actually. And the whole conceit of the protagonist being a sociopath is interesting, because you are left to root for and empathize with a character who has no empathy.But I will say for certain, when it was revealed that the killer was actually a monster, as in supernatural c...

Llevo un año escuchando de este libro, y recién la semana pasada pude conseguirlo.

Somehow I expected something different from this book. I like evereyhing about serial killers in all shapes and sized. But I felt that superrnatural spin was a little too much, the story would be better off without it.

2.5 STARS~ The newness, as in the originality of this story grabbed me and slowly let me drop to the floor without a cushion. The writing was crisp and clean, but I just found that the story went from speed racer to donkey. It fell off for me around the time John's psychiatrist jokes about him bein...

Getting halfway through this was punishment enough. It was just silly.

Serial killers are my thing. I absolutely love anything that pair them with the psychology behind the killing. So, I was really thrilled to see this book at ALA, even more excited to see it was a series. Sadly, it didn't hold my interest. After 85 pages, I just couldn't do it. I didn't care for the ...

So, it's nearly impossible to review a book like this without spoilers. I'll do the best to keep spoilers vague, though, because I think this is a really fun and satisfying book. and would prefer people pick it up knowing only what the book description says. I AM NOT A SERIAL KILLER is not exactly a...
