Another true crime book that sheds light on youth killings. I found this book to be well written. The information about the case is easy to comprehend and you find yourself feelings for the victims and the tradgedy that they endured. It is truely horrific what these three teenage boys did to the girl Elyse, and the author points out what happened well. However, I found some of the information to be redundent. I was also hoping for a little but more information on the case, but it wasn't all provided because the book was written before the trial finished. All in all, fans of true crime should pick up this book. It is a good read and well written.
While reading this true crime book, I couldn't decide if I was reading about an actual crime or being given a textbook lesson on satanism and how teens become involved in the occult. Information about the crime itself was interesting, but provided little detail about what actually occured. Readers were given a summarized account of what occured on the night of Elyse Pahler's murder. The rest of the book was devoted to the deceased's friends and their thoughts; the teenager murderers legal wranglings; and in depth information about the occult. I found the latter two accounts to be extremely repeatitive and boring. Lastly, why was this book written before Royce Casey's sentenced was issued? The one defendant who stood to be punished the harshest despite that he solved an unsolvable crime for police. Guess I'll have to search Google for that information.Read full review
i really enjoyed this book. discuused quite a bit about the murderers and the occult but this was needed for you to understand about the crime itself.
