Because there are certain misguided prolific poseurs/post-ers filed with
an unrelenting passionate intensity who remain enthusiastic apologists for
Toronto Sun hack and human loudspeaker Crusty Bitchford, I thought it only
fair that a few other comments about Invisible Darkness from a few other
reviewers in a few other newspapers get posted.
For instance, Judge Lynn King, writing The Toronto Star, said "Williams
has performed a remarkable, if unconventional, feat in the annals of true
crime. He has let the words and actions of Karla Homolka speak for
themselves."
The Judge goes on to point out that Kirk Makin, (award-winning Globe and
Mail author or Redrum:The Innocent, an excellent book about Guy Paul Morin
and the murder of his young neighbor, Christine Jessop) in his introduction
to Invisible Darkness, says "Bernardo belongs to a well-known breed of
giggling, garden-variety psychos who are destined to spin out of control
and reveal themselves. Unlike Homolka, he got his just desserts and will
never present a danger to us."
This excellent, insightful review was published in the Star on Saturday,
April 31, 1996. Anyone who would like the full text should let me know.
Here are some other excerpts selected from over thirty reviews of Invisible
Darkness.

"You may think you've heard enough but you haven't heard the half of it.
It's a must read ...."

"If you were angry about it before, Williams' eye-opening account will
incense you."

"Based on court documents....as well as countless interviews with police,
lawyers, psychiatrists and friends of Paul and Karla, it is well-researched
and thought-provoking."

Bart Johnson, THE EDMONTON SUN


"This book lets it all hang out....You can't help but be drawn in by this
tale of sex, death, lies and videotape...."

Helen Dolik, THE CALGARY HERALD


"Readers will leave Invisible Darkness knowing that it's nothing short of
obscene.....Homolka could be out of prison as early as next year.

Leonard Stern, THE OTTAWA CITIZEN


"If any readers still believe she was a victim of post-traumatic stress,
abused into submission by Bernardo, this book will put that idea to rest."

Ted Wakefield, THE WINNIPEG FREE PRESS

"Invisible Darkness offers up Karla Homolka, 17 years old at the time she
met Paul Bernardo, as a Devil Incarnate just waiting to meet her Svengali."

Maggie Siggins, THE GLOBE AND MAIL


"There is much in this book of merit....He begins intriguingly....with a
nun waking up to see a pert Karla Homolka sitting in bed beside her....One
moment in the book, Bernardo and Homolka are two suburbanites...caught up
in their own melodramas,
the next moment they're raping teenagers and severing heads."

Pete McMartin, THE VANCOUVER SUN
