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.

4.0

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

challenging dark reflective medium-paced

3.5

The graphic novel didn't trivialize the terrible things Jeffrey Dahmer did, and it did give insight into the circumstances through which he was created, or at least not stopped. It felt weird to read about him in a positive light. The author specified that Dahmer's actions were unforgivable and that his sympathy for Dahmer ended at his first murder, but the narrative can be disconcerting at times.
