Talking with Psychopaths and Savages: A Journey into the Evil Mind by Christopher Berry-Dee
2.0
It seems as if the writer has set himself up as "the person serial killers talk to", dismissing psychiatrists as people they won't talk to because the killers are allegedly too bright. Yet when he does talk to them, they reveal themselves as shallow narcissists with no remorse. And we wouldn't expect anything more. It seems a bit hollow to dismiss the medical experts. They don't all rush into print, for a start.
I have problems with his labels, psychopath or savage. The latter is a killer who hasn't had a diagnosis.
There's a lot of grandstanding by Berry-Dee. He has a coat of arms and deploys it on letters to killers, along with a squirt of Chanel, to get them to write to him.
The lengthy explanations about the nature of psychopathy, where physical causes are outlined, is more interesting than the interviews with the killers.
The writing is tabloid-esque and grandiose.
Disappointing.
