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 didn't want 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.

uhm .. After reading only 15 pages I checked the reviews because I started to feel like the author is awfully full of himself. Turns out I wasn’t the only one who felt that way. He keeps talking about his other books, his incredible achievements, his best friends who are all super cool people and how he is sadly oh so limited in his word count. Also the writing style itself was kinda shitty, he kept repeating contents and words within phrases. And the way he talked about the murderers also felt kinda weird to me, like calling them “disgusting monsters”.. They’re humans, THAT’S THE PROBLEM. It’s humans who are able to do the very best and the very worst of things.
Also victim blaming of some of the female victims? Yeah, no thank you.

Pretty interesting but never really really compelling. From the way the author wrote, I got the feeling he was a bit of a narcissist himself. There was also a lot of outdated language and really unfairly judgemental statements from the author, which i wouldnt have expected from a book written in 2017, by a professional. The content itself was quite interesting, especially the case study chapter which gave a thorough look into how these psychopaths and savages function. Some of it was just a bit repetitive though.
