challenging dark emotional informative reflective sad tense fast-paced

4.0

It was a nice change to see a book about someone like this based on their life before they did what they did, it was really interesting to see from someone who actually knew him the things he noticed as he looks back on it.

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

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

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.
