About this listen
Ambitious, attractive, and full of potential, five young college students prepared for the new semester. They dreamed of beginning careers and starting families. They had a lifetime of experiences in front of them. But death came without warning in the dark of the night. Brutally ending five promising lives, leaving behind three gruesome crime scenes, the Gainesville Ripper terrorized the University of Florida, casting an ominous shadow across a frightened college town.
What evil lurked inside him? What demons drove him to kill? What made him "A Monster of All Time"?
JT Hunter is a best-selling true crime author and attorney living in Florida.

Not a bad read
I am really surprised that I had never really heard of Danny Rollings, except in brief reference.
This is quite an in-depth look at the horrific murders committed by Danny Rollings. It followed the basic format of most true crime novels: overview of the crime, investigation, background of the killer, trial etc. It also went into a bit of detail about some of Rollings attempts to achieve fame from his killings.
What Danny Rollings did to his victims was truely reprehensible, and there is no excuse or justification that can explain his actions. I do believe that Danny Rollings was abused by his father, but that does not give him reason to murdered, dismember and rape. The author does include many of Rolling's biblical quotes, I am not sure if I believe he was truely religious and remorseful, or if that was an attempt to be forgiven.
I did find the book slightly repetitive, and would have like some more 'colour' from the author. A certain perspective that I couldn't get from any other true crime novel.
Not the best, not the worst. Have moved on to another true crime novel by the author.
It really does show that more needs to be done to save children from abuse, and protect the public from violent offenders.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
