My Friend Dahmer by Derf Backderf
5.0
This is a graphic novel about the troubled teen-age years of the well known serial killer jeffree Dahmer, illustrated by one of his classmates!
It shows how he was like before he committed the crimes he did. All the warning signs that everyone noticed but chose to ignore.
The writer believes the victims could have been saved if there was an adult in dahmer's life who recognized the pattren & the uncontrollable urges to sleep with corpses.. He could have went through therapy!
The warning signs were so clear that when they gathered 10 years after graduating highschool remembering the past, one of them said
" he is probably a serial killer by now " as a joke
They all laughed!
This was before dahmer's crimes were discovered!
My only take away from this is "don't let a criminal's troubled history make you sympathize with his actions."
The man killed around 17 people!
This should by no way shape or form make you sympathize... It only provides an explanation to why he descended to this degree
