WOW! This book was an addicting read. It truly was a look inside of the mind of an FBI/BAU agent. I have always loved crime shows and this book did not disappoint with the ability to show how these individuals think, act, and become who they are. It was an interesting mix of seeing how the killers were acting, why they believed they acted that way, his professional opinion, and the story of how the BAU was formed. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who is interested THOUGH it does not flake on the graphic details and at times I felt sick to my stomach that anyone would think to do these things to another human.

Now I will go watch the Netflix series and see how that adds up!

interesting look into how the fbi created a department to easily be able to distinguish serial killers, while morbid, John’s ability to easily identify people by their pathetic qualities is entertaining

The Netflix show was definitely better.  I found the book focusing far too much on John Douglas background.  Way too much.

Mindhunter is a fascinating deep dive into the early days of criminal profiling at the FBI. Wonderfully informative and engaging, the book provides an insider’s perspective on how behavioral science was introduced into criminal investigations and how it evolved to become an essential tool in solving some of America’s most notorious crimes. Douglas’s firsthand accounts bring a chilling authenticity to the narrative. A must-read for anyone into true crime!
