"This book read more like a textbook. Informative but rather dry. I didn't retain most of what the author wrote. The author was repetitive. In fact, I researched one of the people discussed in the book and found a story on the internet verbatim. I guess I had different expectations."
"Though the book runs dry and repetitive in parts, I don't blame the author. It's my fault that I get tired of the endless list of serial killers and their death tolls. I will say I've never read anything scarier than deeds of Locusta, the first serial killer and a woman or Gilles de Rais, suffocater of hundreds of children."
"this book is sick, not in a bad way it talks about a couple of killers that have mental issues. This book is abotu a number of stories about serial killers that grew up in an unstable household. one story i took interest in was the one about Jack the ripper jack the ripper was born in a time of war, he saw all the men in his family being killed and all the women rapped. his family was poor so Jack had to sleep wit both of his older sisters. Jack watched his sisters maturering, having their piriods, ETC. He got a certain like from watching blood. Jack started rappiong and killing women by the age of 16."
