So my second semester SSR book was "The Night Stalker" and if I am being honest, the reason why I chose to have this has my second quarter book was that of the Forensics project and I did not want to read two different books. :) It is very clear about who I will be writing my blog about, Richard Ramirez. It is not because he was my favorite but because of how interesting it was to learn about him. The way his mind works and how he believed everything he did was completely humane. I found it completely crazy when they went back in the book to when he was an innocent child playing outside with his bike. I mean did his mother have the slightest clue that he would grow up to worship the devil and kill a large number of people. That is not the most interesting thing about him though. What really caught my eye was that even during his trial, he had women who defended because he was beyond dreamy. He manipulated women into thinking he was innocent. He got married while he was in jail. If that didn't sound psychotic enough for you, people made merch with his face on it and crazy women bought it. He had so much power even as he was locked away. I am just mindblown.

The book I wrote about for my blog was also because of forensic, I was debating on whether or not to read about the night-stalker or the zodiac. I ended up not reading about either, but still found it interesting like you said.
