Because this is such a short and uninteresting book, my review is going to be just that, short.. hopefully it's still interesting to you though.
TALKING WITH PSYCHOPATHS AND SAVAGES has a low average rating on Goodreads and now I know why, I don't usually like calling out the author if it's down to just a poor story but this true crime book came across as really tedious. Christopher Berry-Dee does not know how to write or how to not come across as an a**hole.
The author expresses on all the clever ways he managed to get information from these killers and it was like being in a room with a guy bragging about all his accomplishments. The detail from these psychopaths and savages was actually little to none, there was a lot you could have just Googled and found their basic information from, what the person did, why and how, other than that Christopher got a few sentences, if that, from a few of these people and I bet they wanted to speak to him just as much as I'd want to.
I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone, as I've said if you want to know anything about a serial killer then just Google it, you'll probably find more from the internet than you will in this book and you really don't want to spending time with this author, which is basically all you do while reading it.

Despite being excited about the title and the promise, I found this book to be ridiculously hard to read. The narrative is all over the place and the author’s insertion of self in the book was annoying. I thought it would be more scientific and from more professional angle. Kept falling asleep reading it and ended up just skimming.

Thought it would be an insightful read as someone who's schizophrenic myself and often experiences symptoms that psychotic people also experience but instead it was the writer speaking just to inhale his own breath, marveling at the smell of it for ~300 pages. I just got frustrated with his constant pompous attitude.
