3.5 if i’m being nice. kinda written like it hasn’t been proofread and some sentences didn’t make sense to me, but interesting from a crim / psych pov.

i also didn’t know that jimmy savile visited peter sutcliffe in jail??? very scary

I don’t know why this didn’t work for me….

I just didn’t enjoy it, it felt flat and boring.

I’m shocked to see that this book has so many negative reviews. I understand the comment of repetitiveness but other than that, I found it a well-researched & interesting read which tried to avoid the glamourised media perception of mental health & Broadmoor. The stories are intriguing but also told sensitively. The researchers & authors did a brilliant job of including lots of different perspectives.

I thought it was a very interesting read, just a tad repetitive. I enjoy learning about places like this, which is why I’m not overly upset by the repetition. It just took me out of it a bit.
