Editorial Review: Synopsis: This was the bland semi-detached home of Fred and Rose West, and the guardian of their incredible secret: the remains of nine young women - many of them dismembered, decapitated and showing evidence of sexual torture - were buried under its cellar, bathroom floor and garden. The remains of Fred's eight-year-old stepdaughter were under the extention of a nearby house; his first wife and nanny were buried in windswpet fields some miles away. There are undoubtedly many other victims whose fates may never be known. Yet Fred and Rose West, who committed at least nine of these murders together, continued to preserve the facade of normal married life. Friends and neighbours considered thema loving if somewhat eccentric couple, and their crimes went undetected for over twenty years. Powerful, authoritative, irresistibly compelling, FRED & ROSE documents the lives and crimes of the most notorious murderers in Britain's recent's criminal history, and offers completely new insights into these strange and tragic events.

Average Rating:
 Rating:  - SickThere is nothing compelling or amazing about this book not because of the author or his style but for the content. I struggle to find the benefit of reading about these horrific events. Don't get me wrong I am not sensitive; I enjoy watching and reading horror but I got half way through this and I've decided to burn the book. If you enjoy reading this book then there is something wrong with you. It's not fiction, these two characters deserve to rot in hell Rating:  - Compelling Shocking and Fascinating for True Crime FansJust Finished this book, it is incredibly well written and informative, author Howard Sounes has really shown a insight to Fred and Rose's childhood and why they may have done what they done. I am a big reader of murder cases,especially serial killers, but nothing prepared me for the this book and the effect it had on me. It left me feeling emotionally drained and exhausted but wanting to read more ,I dont recommend you read at night as you will argue with yourself to why how and what if, as to the outcomes of what happened and went on at Cromwell Road. What made the book more daunting to me as a mother was the scale of Rose's involvement as the most vile,vicious and dominant one of the two and i agree with previous reviews that ... Read More: Rating: - Probably the most comprehensive account of these terrible crimes you will read.Having just read this book and being left totally shellshocked, it`s strange to find yourself wholeheartily recommending it to anyone wishing to try and understand these two un-believable people. It is a fascinating and gripping account of shattered lives. The author does not shy away from providing full details but does not glorify them, presenting facts in a very honest and moving way. This book will grip you until the final pages. it is however, very easy to read and certainly does not drag, even the early years before the attrocities were carried out are extremely interesting and you begin to wonder whether the terrible course they took was set back then. Highly recommended!! Rating: - Fred and Rose - Howard ScounesOMG this book was amazing, i couldn't put it down. It was very well written and the detail was fantastic. I esp like the fact that we found out about there parents and things that could of contributed to them becoming so evil. Highly recommended read!! Rating: - Fred and RoseYou have to read this book if you are interseted in true crime. An upsetting and emotionally difficult book to read at times but a detailed account of the horrors at Cromwell Street and the lives of Fred and Rose. |
