This isn't a sugar-coated book on the creation of fluffy toys, this is a book about humans killing other humans and why they do it. But you already know that because that's why you're here.

Whilst an interesting read, I just couldn't get past the poor grammar and out of order information, it was just too jumbled for my liking.

This was an assigned text for a class I was taking but boy am I glad I bought it. Over 250 serial killers from around the world are included in this text, many of whom I had never heard of before. Easy to read and full of information.
