Very good writing, but I am not the audience and the vivid pictures are not ones I want in my mind. I stopped reading early, but clearly well written.

I received this book from LibraryThing. It started right from page one with the action. It kept your interest. It was not just killing for the killing, he had a purpose to why he killed the victims. Go out and read it.

I found this book very entertaining. I liked how Martin didn't kill just for the hell of it. He had his reasons, helping the victims by killing their abusers. As another reviewer noted, it's like American Psycho. If you liked the movie and/or book, you should like this novella.

I cannot remember any time where I finished a book in one sitting. This book is kind of a, American Psycho meets Dexter. And since I really enjoyed both books this was really fun book to read that I was unable to put down at all.

I thought this was a great read. The story brought back memories of long ago injustices that needed to be addressed. It was well written and a fast read, but it ended too soon. It should become a classic.

Great book, although a fast read! Just when I was getting to know Martin, the book ended! I want more!!! Although this is a book about a serial killer, it contains humor and life conflicts! I hope Mr. Brabander plans to explore Martin in a little more depth in the future! I would love to read a novel where the main character is someone like Martin, although what is wrong with this picture? Am I asking to read more about a killer? Any WHO!! Great read, although a little short.

This is a great short story! Martin is a pretty interesting character to say the least! As he very casually tells us his killing history, you kind of can’t help but like him, whether you agree with his choices or not. He just makes it seem so normal to literally take a hammer to someone’s head because they have in some way personally offended you! I found myself laughing out loud at his comments about how horrible these people (those unlucky enough to make it onto his ‘List’!) were and how much he hated them, so he HAD to kill them, duh!?! It was his job. Not getting at all that his reaction and follow through might be a little extreme!
Another wonderfully written, super entertaining short story!
