KWadyko | Nov 8, 2017 |   Deze bespreking was geschreven voorLibraryThing lid Weggevers. The author classifies serial killers into broader categories and, getting straight to the point, describes their actions in a succinct and clear way, without tiring the readers. I cannot imagine the amount of research needed to accomplish such a book. On the other hand, I found some details quite disturbing, but that is just a personal reaction.The absence of indentation and the extra spaces reminded me of bullet points; in some ways it felt as if reading a police report. In general, I enjoyed the compressed writing, but not the content. (  ) Afratula | Jun 27, 2017 | Deze bespreking was geschreven voorLibraryThing lid Weggevers. What a great set of books. Killers I had never heard of before. The stories were told well and straight to the point. No extra fluff needed here. The horrific acts of these killers were enough in this. It is well written and well researched. I looked forward to reading it and it paid off. Jack Rosewood has become one of my favorite authors. I do recommend this. Great reading here! (  ) BonnieKernene | May 27, 2017 | Deze bespreking was geschreven voorLibraryThing lid Weggevers. There are a lot of depraved serial killers in this book and I found it to be fascinating reading. Reading about Bundy, Gacy, Dahmer, Berkowitz, Wuornos, and other well-known killers, as well as many lesser known criminals, was interesting. What distracted me were the number of typos that seemed to steadily increase – by the second half of the book, there were too many to ignore. A spell-checker would have helped correct the most obvious, though an editor would have helped much more. If I hadn't been so interested in the subject matter, I would have stopped reading before I finished the book. I guess it's my personal preference, but I'd also like to see greater depth, at least on the main killers Rosewood wrote about - more about the victims, more about what motivated some of the killers - more quality and less quantity. That said, if you can overlook the quality of the writing, the subject matter will appeal to readers of the True Crime genre, and it's not a bad book. ( ) tumbleweeds | May 17, 2017 | Deze bespreking was geschreven voorLibraryThing lid Weggevers. A decent brief overview of a number of serial killers. I received a free download of the book in exchange for an honest review. I do not wish to discourage an aspiring writer especially since I hope to have some things I have written published and I'm sure my writing isn't perfect either. Unfortunately, The Serial Killer Books suffered from awkward attempts at nonlinear storytelling and a number of factual errors, including dates contradicted one paragraph to the next. A good editing and fact checking would greatly improve the book as many of the errors are just a need for a good reread of the work before publication to fix obvious typos, incorrect autocorrections and very awkwardly phrased passages. The author is obviously knowledgeable and interested in the subject but would be well served by a professional editor. (  ) Crus458 | May 10, 2017 | geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

It doesn't seem to matter how many of Jack's books I read about serial killers, I am still utterly shocked, disgusted and horrified by the behavior of these people (if you can call them that).
With that being said, I was able to blast through this book because it's definitely rapid fire stories that keep you interested...it's digesting the material afterward that causes an issue as remembering these are TRUE stories will keep anyone up at night.
Definitely recommend to those who are interested in serial killers and their stories.
