Excellent volume in this series. Most of the stories here were quite new to me. Nicely written and researched material. From looking at the years in which these events happened, things are getting more and more out of control.
Do you remember when Charles Manson told us that our children would kill us? The children in this volume sometimes killed on the spur of the moment during an argument or abuse. Other times they made elaborate plans and drew in other children to help them.
What are we to do when children as young as 10 or 12 commit cold-blooded murder? We punish them more lightly because of their age, but is that sufficient? When they become adults, don't we already know they are capable of killing without remorse or conscience?
These are interesting case studies, from the child who systematically poisoned her siblings so she wouldn't have to babysit to the teen gang who kicked and stomped a young couple because they didn't like the way they were dressed.
The stories, for being as short as they are (I normally won't read this type of book; I prefer full length books that tell the whole story rather than just a summary of a bunch of stories, bit I was desperate), were well written and as detailed as they could be, I guess, for a summary if the cases.
But, they're all OLDER cases. And high profile. So there's nothing in here that you probably haven't already seen on the news - and in even more detail.
The Goth couple (Sophie Lancaster) attacked in the park just because they're Goth. I mean, that was HUGE in the news.
The two friends who beat up their other friend and cut her hair, then drown her in shallow water and left her with a heavy log laying on her back. That was a big deal too.
The other stories are also very familiar.
I mean, if you get the book free, and have been living in the dark for eons and haven't heard of those cases, then go for it, but true crime junkies will be disappointed I'm afraid.
Keller is a True Crime Magnate. I haven't caught up with reading all his books yet because I only learned about him a short time ago. Then after reading one of his books it leads me to search out and read in detail a book length version of one of the monsters he's introduced me to. Once I've finished that book I'm back to reading more of Keller's - and all of a sudden he releases a NEW book. I think Rob Keller is trying to bankrupt me💰💰💰.
In this latest volume of KILLER KIDS the chilling lessons learned are they not only kill those closest to them (parents, siblings, grandparents), but they also perpetrated their vicious, remorseless crimes against "friends" and strangers in chilling & horrific ways. I didn't expect the release of this book, but hope there are more Volumes in the future of this series.
I love true crime. Very few true crime books don't get at least 4 stars from me. This one was ok, but certainly not great. I'd still enjoy a compilation of multiple crimes in one book, but this was not detailed enough for me. I needed to get a bit more info on each case. I felt like I was hanging too often here. Also, in some ways I felt like the author was downplaying my intelligence. I felt like he was oversimplifying some of the cases and I felt like too many details were cut out. I feel like there needs to be more of a balance between providing more info, but not an overwhelming amount as some of these books about true crimes often do!
While I do enjoy this series by Robert Keller, an author who writes at a Malthusian pace, it is always disturbing to read about children killing their families or other children. The "why" behind each murder is sometimes murky, sometimes shocking, and sometimes almost understandable (in cases of severe abuse, Cody Posey comes to mind). Good addition to this series.
Keller never lets his readers down. This book is truly a factual, well written account of grisly crimes carried out by children. The cases within these pages are unnerving.
Kindle Unlimited ebook. I continue to be drawn to this series. Not that it is that well written but it’s just so dreadful to see so many killer kids. It’s like staring at a car wreck
