"I’m having a hard time deciding between 2 or 3 stars… Ultimately I think I have to give it a 2. As someone who is fascinated by true crime and the psychological aspects of serial killers, I was a bit unnerved by the flippant language used by the author at times throughout the book… it almost felt joking and/or callous the way events were described, rather than strictly factual. <br/><br/>There were some pretty big misplacements of text (a section of one case was written in the following “chapter”) which led me to question the validity of some of the information. I get that this is meant to be “trivia”, but the organization was jarring to get through, with fast and furious snippets of information thrown at the reader for each posed question. <br/><br/>Admittedly there were some interesting facts to be found about cases previously unknown to me. I actually preferred the segments discussing the older cases (1800s-early 1900s) to the more “sensationalized” cases of the 1960s-1980s that are better known to the general populace. <br/><br/>Overall, I’ll stick to true crime podcasts or documentaries for my information, rather than feel like I’m reading about atrocities in a game show-like format…"
