Review: I have read this particular Ann Rule book several times and everytime I have found something new. Her books interest me very much that I sometimes stay up till 3 in the morning reading it. She writes the book so you can't put it down. Even my brother read this book and he doesn't like to read

Summary: The I-5 Killer is riviting true crime at its best!
Review: I have read two previous books by Ann Rule when she wrote underthe pen name of Andy Stack: Lust Killer and the Want-Ad Killer. Thisbook, The I-5 Killer, I think, is the worst in the Andy Stack Trilogy. The crimes of Randall Woodfield are so horrific and sickening that I felt my stomach churn with disbelief and anger. His crimes were not just relegated to women, but to children as well...Any woman or women who looked as though they would be free targets for his sexually warped, frenzied, psychotic mind would be the target of Randall Brent Woodfield -- the I-5 Killer. My summation does not do the horror in this book justice -- as it gets extremely worse and bizarre....Ann Rule is a tremendously talented writer and deserves every honor and Edgar Allen Poe Award for this difficult genre.

Summary: Dung
Review: I understand this book has been around a while and that Rule has gotten considerably better since it first came out years ago. Doesn't matter -- after this one, I won't go near her. If you like your true crime complete with graphically drawn-out scenes of torture and murder that not only should disgust any civilized reader but could easily arouse a child rapist, then by all means, let this book be seen on your coffee table.

Summary: The book was brilliant and frightening at the same time.
Review: I would recommend this book to anyone who i training; and dozens of other treats. Advance Praise: ONCE UPON A NUMBER can be read on many levels: each of its insights and one-liners is great and together they offer a profound, new view of the relation between math and stories." --Doron Zeilberger winner, 1998 Steele prize in mathematics "Paulos has woven a rich tapestry of jokes, paradoxes, logic, probability, statistics, semantics, philosophy and other wonders. One never knows what delightful surprise is coming next. You will learn a lot from this entertaining yet far from superficial book." --Martin Gardner JOHN ALLEN PAULOS is presidential scholar at Temple University. He is the author of both scholarly papers and books for general audiences on topics such as mathematical logic, probability, and the philosophy of science. Paulos and his work have been profiled in magazines and newspapers such as People, Omni, Worth, and USA Today and he has appeared on numerous television and radio program and "Science Friday." s including the TODAY SHOW, the MACNEIL-LEHRER NEWS HOUR, the DAVID LETTERMAN SHOW, the CBS MORNING NEWS and CBS EVENING NEWS, the LARRY KING SHOW, and NPRs thinking about hitchhiking on an interstate. It is on the surface a book about the psychology of a serial killer/rapist, but it is also in my opinion a book about the problems of living in a modern culture, and how helpless we are.

Summary: Ann Rule is a Fabulous Writer!
Review: Randy Woodfield had it all. He was the boy next door, a star athlete and he had good looks. He also had an appetite for horribly violent acts which led him to cruise the I-5 highway through California to Washington. Randy Woodfield raped and killed women through many states. It's horrible to think that someone could be so awful to do those kinds of things to another person. This was another great book by Ann Rule.

Summary: I-5 killer...
Review: The I-5 killer...was one of the best books that I have ever read..the suspense, the chills...the fear that it brings to you. It was so realistic. Ann Rule is an amazing author that knows how to write a great book. It is one of those books that you would want to read more than once.

Summary: One of her firsts.....
Review: This being an early Ann Rule book it lacks in some areas, including the meticulous detail that she is known for. While some did not like the event sequence of the book, I found it easy to follow. I especially liked the beginning of the book where Ms. Rule spends time getting to know Woodfield's "girlfriends". It made the murders all the more chilling. Not one of her best works, but good nonetheless. I'd recommend this to any true crime fan.
