Psycho.com: serial killers on the internet by Eileen Ormsby
3.0
Eh. It was alright. Not as gory and gruesome as a lot of other reviews said it was but it was interesting.
A lot of the information was borderline and i probably could have learned the same thing by doing a quick google search but i did find it interesting how so much of the book was dedicated to the victims and fleshing out their story. This is why the book gets three stars instead of two.
I think so often, especially with serial killer stories, the victim is causally forgotten or chalked down to a name with no face. but Pyscho.com did a good job of giving life to those that were killed and kept it very respectful and informative.
Still, i would have liked to know more about the why. there was little explanation behind motives and even less on physiological reasons and factors behind their psychopathy. I mean— I want to know the chemical imbalances in their brain and what made them tick, not just that they killed, we know that part already. tell me *why*.
Overall the book was informative, not exactly my favorite but it could have been significantly worse.
