My Friend Dahmer by Derf Backderf

5.0

Eerie and unsettling look at the killer before he became a killer. The author never condones Dahmer, but he also raises the troubling question: there was something clearly wrong with this kid, so why didn't anyone try to step in and help? Wo knows if it would have made any difference. Uncomfortable to read knowing what became of Dahmer, but that's the point. Very interesting format to look at the life of a serial killer. Author appears to have done his homework and not just gone by is own memory of events, which likely could have been distorted after knowing what happened. Disturbing, but a good read.
