Paul Bernado and Karla Homolka were so perfectly iconic as a newlywed couple that they were dubbed "Ken and Barbie". But their marriage had a dark side involving sex, death, and videotape. The "perfect couple" first raped and murdered Karla's little sister then kidnapped teenage schoolgirls whom they enslaved, raped, tortured, and killed while gleefully recording themselves on video doing it.

Good Information, But Comes Across as Bigoted
Revisado: 06-09-23
This provides a lot of good information, but there are several times when it feels like it is judgmental of the wrong things.
Anyone who has any knowledge of the case knows that Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka were unspeakably evil. There's no need to work hard to sensationalize things because even recounting the bare facts of the crimes is enough to cause jaws to drop.
But the author insists on making bizarre comments. For example, he refers to Karla's children in animalistic terms as her "brood" and dramatically says that whether evil will be transmitted to them through her genes remains to be seen.
Karla is unspeakably evil, but her kids are innocent. Lay off.
Then whenever Karla goes along with something Paul says, there are times when the author says she did it "stupidly." An adjective he doesn't apply to Paul. Anyone who thinks Karla blindly followed along due to a lack of intelligence hasn't researches the case. She was equally as evil and depraved. The wool was not pulled over her eyes. So why choose to insult her intelligence instead of her morals? It feels like a high schooler's criticism.
And then talking about her "lesbian affairs" in prisob as if the fact that she was with women is some type of scandal? I mean, there's plenty Karla did to earn hatred. It's not even hard to insult her. Why is a consensual same-sex relationship even on the list?

Absolutely Terrifying!
Revisado: 12-10-20
This is the most terrifying and wonderful books I've read in a while. The characterizations of each and every person in the book are so realistic. The descriptions of the supernatural entities are vivid and horrific. It has so many twists and turns that it's incredibly hard to predict what is going to happen, and you need to question everything.
