This book is so enjoyable! Another good one from Dr. Grande thanks as always, Dr. G.

Recommend

Very interesting book. I listened to it in one sitting. Tells about the mental part of the serial killer

A good book if you are new to the genre

Finally someone makes it clear that all psychopaths are not narcissistic. As an autodidact serial killer student for more than 10 yrs this topic has always been discussed so nice this was addressed.

However the writing style of the book makes it a quite dull read.

There is a lot of information especially for people who are new to this genre.

If you have read a lot about serial killers and the different personality clusters there is not much to learn from this book.

Interesting

I'm a fan of Dr Grandes you tube channel. He gives a logical analysis of the differences and similarities among serial killers. He also gives the legal definition of what a serial killer is and describes the problems with the legal definition. It's interesting to listen to a psychological analysis and comparison of the differences and similarities.

What a robotic waste of time

This book was very basic and not interesting at all plus the delivery was so robotic that it made it 10x worse.
