This was the most brutal book I have ever read. There were a few entries that were written well, but the rest were repetitive and monotonous. Here’s the summary of each : this killer , how they kill, some names of their spouses and victims , how they were caught and then how they died. Imagine that but X 40 something. I finished it because I really didn’t want to dnf it.

Somewhat interesting but not much to it. This reads like different variations of the same story over and over again. Gets tiresome after the first few chapters.

Interesting read, had some murderers I've never heard of but unfortunately some of the facts were wrong and and a lot of details of certain crimes and killers was left out.

In 1996, on my way home from Winnipeg, I got stuck at the airport in Minneapolis for six hours due to snow. This book was all I had to read. I sat there and read this thing for hours because I had nothing else to do, except briefly talk to this nice Somalian guy who noticed I'd been sitting there forever. Fun times.

I thought it read too much like a Wikipedia. Overall snapshots of each killers dirty work, everyone being the worst in history. I want to read more, childhood, mental state, how they got to that point.
