When I started this book I was concerned at the authors clear bias towards those he interviewed. As the book went on I got used to his voice and greatly enjoyed the chapters. It is clear he is an author who is clear about his opinion on these criminals both negative and positive. The authors voice may not be for everyone but I greatly enjoyed the read and will be seeking more out from this author.

I don't think I have ever read a true crime novel where the author was so bias against the subject. Although I'm not saying serial killers should be idolised I am put off by the authors bias opinions and lack of respect. What do you think?

I hate books with poor editing. Why this wasn't picked up by the editor who knows.

What an unfortunate name this poor fella was christened with. Being a factual book this wasn't even a fictional name.

This is one of the best introductions to a book. Very thought provoking.
