Olsen's best! Hands down.

Very insightful and terrifyingly realistic trip into the mind, the behaviour & the life of a true psychopath. The way Olsen weaves this tale is masterful. The author takes us into the minds and actions of those that were close to this sadistic exhibitionist/rapist. He shows how the parents of Kevin Coe enabled, in very serious ways, and later perjured themselves without a trace of guilt, or understanding of, the victims he left in his wake. Coes' mother, in particular, is quite likely as sick as her rapist son. The story is so bizarre and shocking that if it was a work of fiction I would find it totally implausible.
I enjoyed this audio book very much and listened to it over the space of two days...I couldn't stop! I can't recommend it enough and as an insight into the narcissistic and deranged world of a true psychopath it's a hard story to beat! Get it Now!

Engrossing

What a captivating story.. detailed, well written and Kevin Pierce does a magnificent job of narration. I just love his voice.
The fact that this story is of a real psychopath is quite shocking.
Its engrossing to the end.

Sooo dissapointing

Only the second book in Audible I just cant finish.
I have tried a couple of times skipping a few chapters to see if there is any chance of improvement, but to no avail.

I'm unsure if it is the excessive detailed description of everything that turns your mind off from listening automatically. Maybe its the droll almost monotone sound of the readers voice leaking into your ear or perhaps it its just a rubbish book, but I am sure that I can not listen any more.

Don't waste your credits on this one folks, despite the appearance of the cover there is nothing to see here.

EXCRUCIATING

This bloke can write, chapter 2 suberb BUT, from that point drivel after drivel and endless vacuos firirst person conversation. Boring as batshit. Narrator good but unable to finish. Popcorn for grade school.
