A departure from a typical true crime book, this graphic novel explores Jeffrey Dahmer's teenage experience as documented by his high school friend. Very interesting, particularly the author's repeated theme of "where the hell were the adults that could and should have intervened?" I particularly enjoyed the detailed notes at the end backing up the factual elements of the story. Recommend to true crime fans and graphic novel readers who can handle the dark subject matter.

I read this in one sitting, which is something I almost never do, even with a graphic novel. I was riveted.
