never imagined these kinds of people exists/ever existed! clearly, they are the devil's incarnate ); i thought nobody could ever beat jack the ripper out of the game but clearly i was wrong.. sighhh this book makes me doubt the very idea i always cling to: that every human being is innately good..
Horrifying.
and disgusting, along with The World's Greatest Cults.
this book is my father's, had it at home years ago, and I didn't read it all. man, why did i even read it at all. i guess i should have just been contented with the knowledge that several people are ultra-violent.

I can only get so far reading morbid stories. amazes me how man is cap...more

clearly chill my blood while i keep reading this.but the story at last quarter of this book starting to decrease its rate of cruelness.still i rate Jack The Ripper the.albeit he only killed 5 or 6 peoples he never get caught.though u can argue there are other serial killers that never get caught too,but still Jack The Ripper is like the father of serial killers.one can argue that he actually the forming image of serial killer.s.still,i hate this book.not because it's bad but i kind of felt what...more
