alicefaye_'s review against another edition

A decent over view of lots of mass murders, Serial killers, spree killers and psychopaths. Not all the information in this book is 100% accurate and some of it was total speculation on the part of the author.

We all have those family members who like to lumber you with things once they find out about your interest.
Well this book came from my aunt when she found out about my interest in forensic psychology. Supposedly I need to become an expert in the criminal world – mainly I need to be able to recite the heinous acts of countless individuals across history.
Okay, maybe she did not put it like that but it sort of felt that way when she handed me numerous books on the topic.
Still, despite the fact that such a thing can be viewed as being exceptionally weird, the books she gave me were all interesting reads. This one included. It is educational (even if it is not the kind of topic you would want to teach at school) and an interesting read.
Whilst not my usual I rather enjoyed reading the details of this book.

interesting subject matter but not greatly written, badly edited and no real conclusion.
