Students get bonus points in my classes for reviewing books, and sometimes they give me permission to share them on this website. I don’t do much to edit what my students turn in. Sometimes I fix a little error or typo, but basically, what you see is what they wrote. This is the first one I’ve posted.
This book is a true account of five murders that occurred in the Bay Area. The five people were killed by two brothers, Justin & Glenn Helzer, and were accompanied by a third, Dawn Godman. Their scheme to extort money from two of the people was the original motive. The plan eventually ended up taking the lives of three more victims.
I liked this book. It was extremely interesting to me. The lives that these three suspects led were so twisted, and they inevitably included the lives of five victims, unfortunately. It details the horror that the poor people had to go through. It really made me sympathetic towards them.
This is a good book if you’re interested in this particular type of reading. if not, it will seem somewhat harsh. I’m extremely into forensics & investigations, just to try & figure things out. I love the challenge!
