Evil: Inside Human Violence and Cruelty by Roy F. Baumeister

leahrglicker's review

slow-paced

2.0

There are much more interesting books on this subject that are to the point and more engaging. Also beware, the author talks extensively about race and interracial crime in this book, and it feels really dated and borderline racist at points. Regardless, research in this area has come a long way in the last 20 years, so you might as well pick something more up to date anyway.

This book had a ton of interesting points to make. It would be a great book for a discussion group as I had several discussions with friends about points the author was trying to make.
My only complaint about the book would be that some of the authors points came across to me as almost excusing of very heinous acts.
