challenging dark emotional fast-paced

4.0

Heartbreaking and terrifying. One peer's view of the childhood and teen years of an actively unloved and consequently broken boy.

A good read for those interested in true crime. It gives a complex and heart breaking perspective on what kind of life precedes the horror Dahmer inflicted.

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.

challenging dark emotional mysterious sad tense slow-paced

4.0

An insightful gaze into Dahmer's past to argue he wasn't born evil but made evil by his dysfunctional family.
