This book was RIGHT up my ally! What an awesome book for those of us weirdos that are into serial killers and true crime! Seriously, this was so informative and just.... *Sigh* awesome.

I was drawn to this book because I'm a fan of Criminal Minds and Mindhunters. I should have known what I was getting into, but the level of detail about some truly horrific murders made me want to DNF this book a couple times. The parts about profiling were interesting and why I picked up this book in the first place, but the gory details really got to me after a while. I did finish it but gave only two stars because, for me, the specifics about the murders overwhelmed the author's discussion of his profiling techniques and skills.
Another one of those books by former law enforcement that reeks of arrogance and "if everyone had just listened to me," syndrome. Still though, full of fascinating facts about how the FBI started investigating serial killers, with rather more information on Ed Kemper than I ever wanted.
Very interesting, but I listened to the audiobook, and the narrator was so boring. I bet this would have been closer to 4 stars if I’d just read the book. Lots of good information and insights into the start of the BSU.

It's an interesting book for anyone who's interested in learning more about serial killers and what's inside their minds. You get to know better the motivations behind the murders of famous serial killers and others that don't have the same recognition.
I struggle with the narcissism of Ressler because even though he made huge improvements in the psychological forensic area, Ressler tends to congratulate himself and at the end you get bored and stressed by this situation.
