A disturbing read July 4, 2008
I thought it was a disurbing book. It was a quick read for me, and I have a short attention span.
What's better then knowing the Killer personally?! February 6, 2008
This story is bizarre and what's truly scary is I know Dawn Godman. I was roommates with her, it was of course an unusual situation. I was in Jail, Not for anything serious of course. Anyhow I was aware of who she was and when they put me in her room I just almost died! She doesn't talk much or smile much. She always was playing cards with the other girls who were "Lifer's" and "High Profile" case Gals. I never dared ask her about what she had done, or why. I was so freaked out I asked to be transfered out of her room. Luckly I was home in 2 days. It was an experience I will never forget. I bought this book cause it is just too shocking to believe. Another strange coincidence is that if you readthe book you will see that Dawn Godman Used a wheelchair to roll into Kmart to buy the saw with Mrs. Steinman's Credit card. That wheelchair was bought from my Dad's work Bacon East Pharmacy.
A 300 page newspaper article March 15, 2007
I give the book 3.5 stars. The writing is pedestrian. Bland death scenes (and these are victims who were bludgeonedz; and/or shot; and/or chopped into bits.) Still, the reporting is objective and the overall story is interesting enough to where I'd recommend this book to anyone interested in 'cult' crimes.

I have just started Robert Scott's latest book Unholy Sacrifice. I have several of Scott's books, although I have enjoyed his previous books as well, I find this one captivating. Maybe it's because I can identify with the characters more. I anticipate that this book will be received very well, maybe even a top best seller!
 interesting but Wicca part not explained October 10, 2005

This book is about a Mormon who believed he was the second coming of Jesus and managed to brainwash his brother and a woman to help him kill five people as part of his attempt to raise money through robbing investments and kiling those who may have known who he really was that he could not control.
My header refers to one woman that Taylor was involved with, a Debra, who claimed she was a Wiccan and who stupidly kept a safe she knew had drugs in it of his in her home. Now this is picky of me, but as a Wiccan myself , it grates me that the author calls the male " witches' warlocks and does not make clear that Wicca is a legitimate religion, not a kooky new age cult.
Aside from that, the book is okay, not Anne Rule level, but okay. I do agree with one reviewer here that the subject could have been handled better and with more depth. There is mention of the submissive brother's interest in Buddhism, for example, and the problem of whether Taylor was in fact mentally ill or faking it was not sufficently examined in this book. The only real valuable thing I can see about this book is that it shows how one person can delude and mislead, almost to the point of mental slavery, at least two other people, to the point of commiting murder. Taylor was obviously narcissitic and actually thought his sexual business fantasies could work, even though he overlooked the reality of human choice. The book is missing some "depth" about the case, which is why I say its okay, not good. It doesn't suck as a true crime book, but I would not keep it as a reference.
