I have read a few of Ryan's books， and one of the reasons why I enjoy them so much is that he doesn't fill out the story with unnecessary information。 You just get the whole story。 That's all you want！ This one is no different in that respect， but， be warned， it is the nastiest tale yet。 I usually read Ryan's books in one sitting， but needed breaks with this one。 There are also descriptions of terrible animal cruelty。 I never find that Ryan uses any descriptions gratuitously though， thankfully。 I have read a few of Ryan's books， and one of the reasons why I enjoy them so much is that he doesn't fill out the story with unnecessary information。 You just get the whole story。 That's all you want！ This one is no different in that respect， but， be warned， it is the nastiest tale yet。 I usually read Ryan's books in one sitting， but needed breaks with this one。 There are also descriptions of terrible animal cruelty。 I never find that Ryan uses any descriptions gratuitously though， thankfully。 。。。more

WOW， what a read！ The plot was intense， powerful and thrilling and held me captive all the way through！ The characters fairly leaped off the page， and the tension was palpable。 If you are looking for a twisted read that you just CAN’T put down， then this is DEFINITELY the book for you！*I received a complimentary ARC of this book in order to read and provide a voluntary， unbiased and honest review， should I choose to do so。

Sometimes truth is more gruesome than fiction。The author presents a keen insight and understanding of the killer。 At the start of the book， I felt sorry for the killer， because of what had happened to him in his childhood。 A bad childhood can either make or break a person。 Some people actually show more compassion towards other people。 Other people internalise their pain and anger and then project it onto the world。 This book shows the killer's rapid descent into madness。 The crimes he committed Sometimes truth is more gruesome than fiction。The author presents a keen insight and understanding of the killer。 At the start of the book， I felt sorry for the killer， because of what had happened to him in his childhood。 A bad childhood can either make or break a person。 Some people actually show more compassion towards other people。 Other people internalise their pain and anger and then project it onto the world。 This book shows the killer's rapid descent into madness。 The crimes he committed are horrendous and chilling。 Very well written， realistic， and compelling。 。。。more

NO PLACE FOR THE WEAK （of stomach）… A series of grisly murders occurred in and around Adelaide， South Australia， between 1992 and 1999。 These murders were committed by John Bunting and a small group of his acquaintances。 Since most of the bodies were concealed in barrels which were stowed in the vault of a defunct bank in Snowtown， the murders are often referred to as the “Snowtown murders” or the “bodies in barrels” murders。 The horrific crimes of these men have been documented and examined in NO PLACE FOR THE WEAK （of stomach）… A series of grisly murders occurred in and around Adelaide， South Australia， between 1992 and 1999。 These murders were committed by John Bunting and a small group of his acquaintances。 Since most of the bodies were concealed in barrels which were stowed in the vault of a defunct bank in Snowtown， the murders are often referred to as the “Snowtown murders” or the “bodies in barrels” murders。 The horrific crimes of these men have been documented and examined in several books and dramatized in the film， Snowtown。 The ringleader， John， along with his acolytes rationalized their unconscionable actions by insisting that they were providing a service to decent society by removing pedophiles and homosexuals - regardless of whether or not such categorizations were applicable to the victims。 This book presents a clear and comprehensive picture of their crimes in a style that only Ryan Green can offer。 His writing transports the reader into the story with such totality that one not only sees the actions of the characters， but as a result of his psychological scrutiny， you are privy to the character’s thoughts and emotions， as well。 In the case of John Bunting， as with so many individuals who have fallen into or ventured decisively toward a life of cruel and sadistic depravity， the trauma of one horrific childhood event certainly influenced John’s development into the malicious miscreant he became。 That dreadful experience is described in gut-wrenching detail， but it would be a grievous mistake to assign the full blame for John’s appalling deeds to this one incident。 John Bunting made calculated choices and employed skillful manipulation tactics to accomplish his self-assigned “mission”。 The true reasons for his actions were founded in greed， a consuming need to control everyone and everything， and his perverse desire to inflict pain on others。 This is an absolutely electrifying account of the Snowtown murders but be advised that it is also a difficult read given the repugnant subject matter。 Hate， bloodlust， rage， and cruelty to the mentally challenged and to animals are portrayed with disturbing and graphic clarity。 To minimize the gruesome nature of John’s crimes might be more palatable but， in my opinion， would be a disservice in that true crime literature is tasked with offering a full and accurate account of what happened。 For me， this author always offers the definitive examination of some of the worst events to disgrace the human race， and this book is a perfect example。 It is both riveting and revolting but it is also impossible to put down。While I was provided with an advance copy of this book， I chose to purchase a copy of the finalized book and I am voluntarily offering my honest and unbiased review。 。。。more

Ryan Green has produced another excellent book and has become one of my favourite authors with his ability to pull you into the story。 This book will not disappoint true crime readers as Ryan delves into the mind and phycological and sadistic life of John Bunting who lives in Australia and is a true Psychopath who had no empathy。 John was molested at a friend’s house by his friend’s half-brother and his friends which changed john’s life forever more。 John isolates himself and meets and befriends Ryan Green has produced another excellent book and has become one of my favourite authors with his ability to pull you into the story。 This book will not disappoint true crime readers as Ryan delves into the mind and phycological and sadistic life of John Bunting who lives in Australia and is a true Psychopath who had no empathy。 John was molested at a friend’s house by his friend’s half-brother and his friends which changed john’s life forever more。 John isolates himself and meets and befriends Benny who is 30+ when john is a teenager。 Benny is a neo-Nazi who hates other races， especially homosexuals。 This only fuels the volcano laying dormant deep inside John as they become friends and hang around gay bars pretending to pick up men for sex only to assault them up alleyways。 John quickly learnt these where victims to use for his perverse pleasure of torture ，and John new that he could turn his personality of with a flick of a switch which suited his purpose when he meets and befriends anybody。 Ryan sets the crimes up beautifully so the book flows nicely。 The scenes are extremely graphic as you are drawn into the lives of the people around John as he leaves school， grows up gets married and makes friends who he then goes on to manipulate into killing for him。 John new right from wrong and chose to inflict pain and suffering on his victims because he enjoyed it。 Eventually 4 of them will be convicted of up to 10 killings。When reading this book， you will find yourself turning pages as fast as you can read them。 This book is not for the faint hearted but beautifully written。 An exceptionally outstand brilliant book for true crime readers。 Thanks again Ryan。I received an advance review copy for free from Ryan Green and I am leaving this review voluntarily。 。。。more
