Not as sensationalized and out of touch as literally any other true crime story. I appreciate that Backderf only explicitly shows or mentions the murders like 2 or 3 times. It's a lot more tasteful and respectful to the victims and their families than portraying in detail the brutal murder and torture of gay men of colour, unlike other books and shows about Dahmer.

I don’t know something about this doesn’t sit right with me. I know the author did his research but it feels like all of this is not his information like he only hung up with him like once. That being said I did learn some things because I’ve never really watched any of the TV shows or movies about it because it’s kind of weird to me. I don’t know the other style I also really don’t like at all to be honest. I would say if you wanna learn more maybe but I don’t know it just felt weird to me.
