Jack Ketchum's "The Girl Next Door"

[Ozymandias]

This book was recently reccomended to me. I've heard it's quite difficult to get ahold of. Anyone read it? Reccomend it?

I haven't read it, but it's easy enough to find. Amazon, Half.com, and Overstock all have it for a good price.

I bought the paperback book from Amazon and if you are an adult avid reader, I wouldn't waste my money on it. Of course it's To each his own.
He's taken a true story and changed it so much it doesn't follow the true crime. His reviews say he's brilliant, and maybe to some. But to me, I like a more mature writer. My opinion is that he writes very juvenile and this is an old book that Stephen King has endorsed and they are bringing it back like it was brand new. I also bought Off Season that Stephen King endorsed. And that book is written in 1980 and brought back as new. I was greatly disappointed.

I would give you the link to the true story, but my privileges haven't been turned on yet. You can search for Sylvia Likens and read the true story.
