Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka (Crimes Canada: True Crimes That Shocked The Nation) (Volume 3) First Edition

Blown away and extremely impressed with this account of the case that is no doubt one of the most notorious crimes in Canada. It instantly comes to everyone's mind when asked what the most infamous crime in our country was. I've read a lot about this case over the years, however, what I read before was nothing like this. Well written and expertly conveyed, this book is simply remarkable. As a fan of true crime, you will not be disappointed. Vronsky is a master of his craft and a first rate author.The transcribed videos of these two together was truly the stuff of nightmares. I did in fact have a fitful nights sleep after reading it. The extent of Paul Bernardo's depravity completely blew me away. I mean we all have a general idea of how sexually deviant a rapist is by the nature of their crime, however the insight we get from the details on these videos shows a level of degeneracy that shocked me to the core.And Homolka? well I'm still a bit torn of what to make of her. Ruthless? Undoubtedly. Cold-blooded? You bet. However was she as bad as Bernardo? I may not be too popular saying this but I don't think she's quite as sick as he is. Feel free to disagree with me but I don't think she would have done those things on her own. With what I've read so far about this case, she was led by him and his deviant sexual needs, and agreed to them because of her ruthless nature to do whatever it took to get what she wanted. And she wanted a picture-perfect life that she thought Paul could give her. But who know really.Highly recommend this one to all my fellow fans of True Crime.

The writing was fine. And I generally prefer true crime books over other genre because I like finding out about what happened and better yet, why. But honestly, this couple is SO absolutely despicable, the book was hard to read and I just couldn't finish it. That is not the fault of the author at all but that of his subjects. It's very hard for me to have to believe that there are people like this and I just wish it wasn't so. I don't know what happened to them but my opinion is, if you didn't believe in the death penalty before, this account just might make a believer out of you.

After reading this kindle edition, I came away deep in thought about the "Ken and Barbie" killers. It seemed their lust for each other drove them to kill. Karla Homolka was not the innocent girl people thought she was. Paul Bernardo, on the other hand, was born into evil despite his upbringing. Underneath his good looks and charisma, lied a profound darkness that consumed him for the rest of his life. In my opinion, he is where he deserves to be, behind bars that will forever hold him. Karla Homolka seems to have gotten what she always wanted; children and a husband that loves, supports, and protects her. Something she never had before. Peter Vronsky wrote a very compelling piece of non-fiction in the true crime genre. He has a high recommendation from me

This is a fascinating book.those are two sick and very twisted human beings.very well written.lots of research and time was put into this book.the details are very gruesome.she played along and killed her sister just to please her lover.very sad and twisted.i think she is/was worse than him.she is free today.married with kids.that should be a crime.all true crime fans must read this book.by far one of the best reads in this series.

I finished this book in a few hours and I just could not put my kindle down at all. This case is one that will stick with me for a long time. The details are great the explanations of everything are on point. You really did your homework and detective work on this book.😉very well written and you capture the attention of your audience very well. I don't believe Karla got what she deserved but hey it's justice and hopefully the families of the other two victims can have a little peace of mind. Paul got exactly what was coming to him and I'm glad. Great book and everyone should read this.

The author actually gave me some new insights into the psychology of serial killers that I hadn’t read before, which was interesting because I have read a lot on the subject. But this book was pretty cringeworthy though. Ew. Some passages were pretty tough to get through and really questioned my faith in humanity.

Vronsky didn’t hold back. He gave vivid details about the murders. He also condemned these actions throughout the book. These were two violent offenders who, when brought together, created a hell on earth for their young victims.This book was well written, well researched and presented in an organized linear manner.

The case this is based on is horrible enough but to actually pay for this book is a crime. It is like the author grabbed any articles they could out of the newspaper and compiled it into a book for a quick buck. Poorly written and honestly it's junk. Save your money.

got this and didn’t have many pages I read it in a couple ov hours and was disappointed with it ... it was quickly written and didn’t really go into great detail wasn’t worth the money because it was a short read

I'm interested in true crime and crime fiction.The writing of this book is very clunky, sometimes repeating what has already been addressed on previous pages. I gave up midway through to Google the case myself.I don't like leaving negative reviews but sometimes a book irks me enough to do so.

Very well written. They were just evil and if the police had done their job properly, lives would have been saved

This book is about a couple who rape torture and murder their victims, one went on for 3 days! I think she is just as bad as him for her part and she should be still in prison now and the rest of her life! If you like true crime you will love this book

Have read much on this pair, this book gives a concise account of the whole grim story without lingering on too much detail.Worth a read to get a good handle on the case.
