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.

chaoticbeing's review against another edition

challenging dark reflective tense medium-paced

5.0

THIS is what a true crime novel should be about. It doesn’t feel like some flashy, exploitative story about Dahmer. Very quickly it becomes less and less about him and more and more of a commentary about how small town Americana leaves the most exploited and abused behind to keep up an image. 
The movie adaptation is bad though. Don’t bother.
