100 Most Infamous Criminals by Jo Durden-Smith

5.0

This book deserves a high rating because I can only imagine what it would take to gather information about 100 figures and make each one of them fit into a few pages.

Reading this, I couldn't help but ask myself what wouldn't a human being do for his pleasure, to what extent would people go just to have a momentary feeling of high. Where does it stop?
The human mind is evil, it could create an infinite number of ways to inflict harm and still not be satisfied. And I seek to know what lies behind these minds, not the superficial analysis of shrinks who only know about what these people did, but an in-depth study of each and every one of them.

The book was heavy, though. It was hard getting through all of those stories, knowing about all of those victims, and not feel a pang every single time.

I wonder again, what is the limit of the human mind?
