The Autobiography Of Jack The Ripper (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
This book was alright ... I mean I was expecting more out it something to make me believe it actually was him who wrote the book but it lacked too many thing it was dull it leaves you with the sense of is this real or not ? I have always been a reader of crime books and Jack the Ripper has always caught my attention but this was defiantly a let down. If your into crime books or just JR and the white chapel murders this book does nothing to satisfy your thirst to learn more. I suggest to skip this one and pick the next book over. This is the "autobiography" of James Carnac. A man claiming to be Jack the Ripper. Never does the book claim to be the definitive work of Jack the Ripper.(Despite the slightly misleading title) If you have a interest in Jack the Ripper, you should find this book entertaining enough to read. In my personal opinion, this man is NOT Jack the Ripper. My biggest disappointment with this work was that the original discoverer of this literature, edited out the parts he considered "gruesome" or "offensive" before it was originally attempted to be published.(If it was ever attempted before this book) This left me feeling kinda ripped off, since those details were probably the pieces that most people are unaware of. I have read a INCREDIBLE and extremely informative(and factual) book about Jack the Ripper, and as far as the crimes were concerned, I didn't learn much new info from this book. Even though I believe the book to be fiction, I feel that possibly the most interesting parts were removed. I have pretty good knowledge(I'm FAR from an expert)about Jack the Ripper, and just wasn't convinced this was the man. My 2 biggest disappointments was the editing of the original work and the fact that I feel James Carnac(which there is no evidence a man of that name ever existed)was telling a tale. I'm not upset that I don't believe him, but apparently he himself was no expert on "Ripperology", because he could have told a better lie.(In my opinion) I can see how some people would hate this book.... or how some may love it. Personally, I will say that if you enjoy mystery, true crime or "Ripperature", this book is worth the time to read. But not much more than that. It's not a waste of time, but I would suggest you don't get to excited about this book until you've read it and can make your own evaluation.
