"I could not put this book down. It is not just the story of a mass murderer. The book shows the criminal justice system, the education system, the transportation system, and what it was like to live and work in Romania during this era.."

"This is a serious, well researched and well written book. Although it is not a pleasant story, this is a very good book. It tells not just the story of Ion Rimaru, the butcher of Bucharest, but also the story of Romania during a dark period of its history. We need more stories like this..."

"Fascinating and disturbing... a captivating insight into the life of Romanian society in the 70ies [...] Very well researched historical and sociological details make the city and its inhabitants come alive, most of all, the victims of the rapist and killer."

"Rimaru - Butcher of Bucharest makes for a very good read, even if a chilling and rather unsettling one, because the authors have shunned sensationalism in favour of objectivity."
