I was really expecting more. An insight into his background would’ve been interesting, but not this apologetic work. I understand it’s a memoir, and cheers to Backderf for finding it in his heart to feel sympathy for Dahmer, but you won’t find any from me, and it makes me a little sick that Backderf tried to explain that Dahmer’s issues were a result of a bad home life, intrusive thoughts, bullying, and the like. Plenty of other people have had one of more of those things happen and didn’t stalk and murder other people. This books reads a lot like the news reports of (TW!!) school shootings, where they try to make it out like the perpetrator was also a victim, but like I said, there are people who are going through the same things, or worse, and aren’t unaliving other people.
