The Stranger Beside Me

I feel like the only reason this book is highly rated is because the author met Ted Bundy before he was a known serial killer, because there is nothing in the content of her actual writing to justify how often this book is recommended on non-fiction/true crime lists.

On very basic levels, this is just not a very well written book. The structure is choppy, the writing style bland, the perspective lacking in any real depth or emotion, and the level of detail very shallow. The thing with non-fiction is: you still have to be a good storyteller to do the facts and reality justice, and this book just is no where near the level it should be at given how often it is referenced.
