Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Killer Clown
Killer Clown is an intense, well- written true-crime story. Filled with shocking details of the John Wayne Gacy murders, it was difficult to put this book down. The book starts with the abduction and murder of his final victim and the discovery of some 29 bodies in Gacy's crawl space, and then works backwards to look in detail at how such an atrocity could have happened.
Rating: - Informative, but not "real" enough.
This book would have been very well written, if it were a work of fiction. I really didn't sense that the events depicted in this book actually occurred.

Rating: - A most EXCELLENT Book!
I read (and still have!) the very first paperback version of this book way back in the autumn of 1985. I am old enough to have watched the initial TV news broadcasts of this case from back in December of 1978! This book is a very interesting and entertaining read about the subtle (and sometimes NOT so subtle)surveillance,tracking, taunting and eventual arrest of this man who had been raping,murdering (and sodomizing AFTER they were dead) boys throughout the seventies. While the book does NOT go into ... Read More
Rating: - Recommend
Very informative, thorough, factual, and fast-paced. Covers the period from Gacy's last victim through his trial, written from the law enforcement perspective in engrossing detail.
