- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Based on a true story, this audiobook tells the murder of a carny man with a deformity named Grady Stiles Jr. I was interested in this man because of my favorite album from my favorite band, "Freak Show" by silverchair. But don't let the lobster boy's smile fool you. When you read this book, it is a detail story of a deformed man who turned out to he a monster who hurt his family. And because of this, he was murdered. This is the most disturbing true story that I have read in my life. I couldn't put the book down. It was shocking, compelling, and disturbing. It makes me feel sorry for the people who the Lobster Boy hurt. It truly is a chilling true story. It's a must read.
