Informational
This book was awesome and the details of the murders, murderers and down to everything was well written. I highly recommend this book to anyone who fascinated by serial killers.

This book REALLY could have benefited from proper editing. The content sometimes suffer from a lack of objectivity, like other reviews mentioned. However, in my mind, the bigger issue was the absolutely staggering number of typos, spelling, and grammar errors that could have easily been caught in the editing process. These mistakes occurred often enough to be very distracting. It was only my interest in the content that allowed me to power through and finish the book, albeit with lots of venting to friends and family.

This book took a while to read due to the content and its format.
It is a great encyclopaedia of serial killers, presenting them in alphabetical order with lists of victims and brief summaries of the killers’ lives, their crimes and their capture and punishment. Some have additional facts and quotes, but this varies.
There were a lot of spelling errors, some which leave names confused but it is readable.

Not terrible
It was informative but sloppy writing. And the editing left something to be desired. I was looking for more but an interesting read no less.

This book contains false information that could have been fact-checked with a simple Google search. It's sensationalist in tone; It sets out to be a encyclopedia that gives an overview of each kliller, but goes into great detail in regards as to how they tortured and killed their victims. Why they did it though remains completely unexplored. Multiple victims are mentioned by name and its then described how this particular person found their horrible death, which again felt tone deaf and sensationalist.
Some information, that again is very easily accesible, is activley let out so the stories sound more out there (again, for the sake of sensationalism).
English is not my first language and even I noticed how bad the grammar in this was.
If you're looking for the information about any of these killers, or any killer really, you can find better researched information on the internet.
Absolutely do not recommend.

While full of great information, it really needed to be organized in a more cohesive way, and the frequent typos were a buzz kill.
