Good stories, lots on insight on past crimes and the people who committed them. The book reads like a long winded story from your grandpa though.

I read this because I found the TV show to be truly interesting, but just like the show isn't easy to watch, this book isn't easy to read. Douglas describes the murders in extreme detail, so beware of that. I can't say I liked it, but just like the show, it was super interesting to see how they found what a serial killer was and how many there are out there. It's fascinating in that sense, but not easy to read at all.

glad I picked this up as an audiobook, because otherwise it would be a bit of a struggle to make it past the first few chapters. when douglas describes the "unsub's" motives, psychology, or the minute details of each case I feel the minutes fly by, but the pace stops dead in its tracks anytime he talks about anything else. if I wasn't already motivated to read this after rewatching netflix's excellent mindhunter series--which is so much more compelling than this particular work--it's very likely I would have DNF'd it.
