Such an interesting book. I loved being reminded of those serial killers I've researched and learned about throughout the years and I loved even more learning of ones I had never even heard of before.
This book could, however, of used another run through with the grammar. Some of the sentence structuring was horrible and I'm pretty sure I found at least a handful of misspelled words in there. You could definitely tell that the "author" just shot this one out of his ass to make a few quick bucks.

I'm not sure this book was worth the $8 something that I paid for it. I have never heard of many of these people and I'm a bit disappointed in this book: the writing style for some of the people was quite strange, there was a huge focus on the Untied states (which is a real shame, since I knew most of them already), there seemed to be too many pictures in this book, over all. I understand the use of pictures in a book like this, but it seemed very overdone.
Very good, some stories could have had a little more detail. In contrast, some could have had a few less details. Overall, very interesting and pretty disturbing. It was fabulous light reading for when I only have a few minutes to read at a time.
This book will tell you everything you wish to know about the most deviate personalities in history from Ivan the Terrible to Ted Bundy to Charles Manson. The really redeemimg part of the book, however, was that there was no one in there that I play golf with.
This is an interesting book about different killers and the way they have killed but not an in-depth look of any. The book just give you some basic knowledge on all different killers. Their lives, the way they killed, how many and what they were charged for. Its a good introductory reading to the different killers in different times.
