Told in her own words, this is the story of serial killer Aileen Wuornos, who was portrayed in an Oscar-winning performance by Charlize Theron in the film Monster. There have been few female serial killers, but Aileen Wuornos, who was executed in 2002, was a remarkable example of this rare breed of death row inmate. All too often, female prostitutes have been the victims of male serial killers--Wuornos' killings were the inverse of this pattern. After escaping an abusive childhood at the hands of her grandparents, she became a child prostitute, progressing into a disastrous adulthood of prostitution and damaging affairs with both men and women. Her eventual metamorphosis from victim to attacker had brutal consequences--a stream of dead men. This is her story, as told to Christopher Berry-Dee, editor of The New Criminologist and director of Britain's Criminology Research Center.

I really enjoyed reading this book. It really delved into the mind of a poor, misguided, lonely, and desperate lady looking for acceptance and love in all the wrong places and people. Whenever she reached out to someone for love, she was abused and taken advantage of. I wish I had had the opportunity to meet Aileen. I perhaps, could have made a difference in her life to where she wouldn't have turned to such a hard, desperate, and lonely life. I also feel sad for her victims and the turn of events that lead her to kill.
