Rampage (Bloodlands Collection)

Overall a good story. However, author mentions Columbine, Virginia Tech, Sandyhook, etc. and blames mass shootings on \”Americas ease of obtaining firearms.\” Author doesn\’t mention what New Jersey\’s gun laws were in the late 40\’s. Maybe this tragedy could have been minimized if civilians were permitted to carry. Either way, author should have left his personal politics out of the story…just my opinion though

While the story was good it was a very tragic and to realistic I got this audiobook from audio book boom and im glad I was able to get a code and the narrator did a fine job

It\’s sometimes hard to rate a book about horrendous subjects that involve true-crime… keeping in mind, my rating is not the subject itself, but on how well told, organised, and thoroughly depicted, the subject content is presented. This true-crime audio account, \”Rampage\”, bares the resemblance of a milestone in history of which we see more of this type of crime unfortunately in our times …. a \”Lone-Wolf Rampage Killer\”, a single mass murderer, that has an apocalyptic rage, seeking to kill as many as he can, in the shortest time possible. In the USA, think: Stephen Paddock (killed 60), Devin Kelley (killed 25), James Huberty (killed 21), with countless more be injured from their attacks. This is the story of Howard Unruh, who managed to kill 13 people in 13 minutes (12 immediately + 1 died a short time later). His attack was brutal, with no mercy, killing man, woman, girl, a 9 yr old boy, and a 2 yr old toddler that was looking through a window. \”In 1949, things like this just didnt happen: A quiet New Jersey resident took a morning walk with a 9 mm Luger pistol\”. It\’s claimed from that day, things were never the same, and many people were outraged that Unruh, never got what he deserved. First degree murder or mental illness? After his obsessive diaries were discovered with journals of people on his listhe catalogued simmering rage, petty grievances, and sexual repression, all of which lead him to a desire, a thirst, that he MUST RETALIATE. The succeeding decades would confirm that Unruhs Walk of Death was just the beginning. The prototype for the modern mass murderer, he would usher in a new age of violence in America.

These are all so well written and absolutely captivating to hear. The stories are horrifying while at the same time super gripping. Great listen.

Very well narrated. The story wasnt dragged out and the information before and after the event really added to the story to give a better understanding of the story.
