dark informative reflective sad fast-paced

5.0

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.

dark informative mysterious sad fast-paced

3.25

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 fast-paced

4.5

I appreciate the way Backderf tells this story and how his visuals help express the heavy emotions.  If you read the ebook, there are some deleted scenes and sketches that I found interesting.  I was also engrossed in the notes and notes on the Dahmer family in the back of the book.  I am interested in the 2017 movie adaptation.
