challenging dark informative slow-paced

4.0

I actually really enjoyed this book. I thought the author did a good job of balancing the nature vs. nurture argument, without either glorifying or greatly dehumanizing the psychopaths in question. Took me five and a half years to finish it, and I'm glad I did.

5.0

Really in-depth discussion of psychopaths and the science that is used to try to understand them. Perfect for psychology and criminology students, or those with a fascination for the mind and crime.
