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.

A former classmate of Jeffery Dahmer shares his personal experiences and collective research of others to show a speculative story into Dahmer's childhood.
This graphic novel was easy enough to follow and kept my dark interest into the human psyche entertained. There is a lot of added materials and notes to get even more information from at the end.
It could have been interesting if there was less explanation in writing and the author used the drawings for more of an emotional impact.
Overall, this was a quick on sitting read, and held a lot of opinions reading as a memoir. I wouldn't say don't try it, but it didn't "wow" me.
