As much as this book is inciteful to the most dangerous couples known, this book is rather repetitive and draws on the same points all the time. The book included some well-known cases and I will admit isn't the most engaging. Although a fascinating read for anyone interested in the legal system both internationally and within Britain. Shows the absolute reality behind the death penalty and how the penalty for murder isn't life imprisonment but instead a luxury. Questioning socialisation and upbringing as to whether it causes crime and youth psychopaths. 3/5

While it was an interesting read, it fell flat for me. It is basically just a catalogue of bios and crimes. This person teamed up with this person, they were born then and there, their upbringings were as follows ,and then they did this list of horrible things to people. I was hoping for a bit more of a psychological lean. Some insight into why they did what they did, or what could lead to this. It is informative but I would have preferred some psychological profiling or similar medical theorising as to the why of it all.
