When The Monster Comes Out of the Closet: Westley Allan Dodd In His Own Words
November 23,
Fascinating, but also highly repulsive, disgusting, and hard to rate. This book puts you directly into the thought process of a “man” who was a pedophile, child rapist, and murderer. That is of somewhat questionable value.
So why 5 stars? Because I feel like the author/interviewer did a good job with what she did. Also, disgusting as it is, the book is definitely fascinating at times.
It is incredibly bizarre to hear Westley Allan Dodd repeatedly go on these tirades blaming law enforcement for not punishing him or stopping him from doing his crimes. I mean, he gets downright indignant about it. And while he is correct (sort of), where is any taking responsibility for maybe deciding not to abuse kids in the first place? It just shows you the odd sort of detachment that he had mentally in the way he talks about these crimes. Like these kids aren’t even real people.
