As I said , it’s a pity as I did enjoy the actual stories of these women (also, be warned: it’s mostly one time killers—- considering how often he defined “serial killers” I found that to be a bit of a let down). Like his other books, its littered with mentions of his previous books. But in this book he takes it a step further and proceeds to tell us where, when and by who the books have been published by. Talking With Serial Killers by Christopher Berry Dee is a collection of conversations between the investigative criminologist and some of the worlds most disturbed individuals. This book looks at the crimes of these people and gives an account of their perception of what they did and in some cases gives answers to what drove them to commit such heinous crimes.

He also frequently implies that women who like sex are immoral and therefore more likely to be murderers... I'd had nightmares for 3 consecutive nights when I started the book, reading detailed depictions of the crime scenes, how decomposed the corpses were, how manslaughter and body dismemberment were carried out, and even cannibalism. The psychopathy [documented in this book] gets worse to the point that a .22 calibre gun-shot is the most merciful killing method.The final thing I want to highlight in this review is the awful editing, throughout the book, there are examples of poor proofreading, spelling errors and sentences that make no sense. While a few punctuation errors are forgivable and expected, no one is perfect, I don't expect to find sentences that make no sense, words that have been repeated, punctuation that is in the wrong place and formatting that wasn't maintained. The format of the chapters seemed to be that the heading was the name of the killer and each section had a paragraph depicting their method of killing, a small section about their method and the victims. This structure was randomly abandoned in later chapters and would then be used again a few chapters later. The inconsistency of this format makes it appear that he knew most of the killers in the book were not serial killers and didn't want to highlight that by stating their number of victims, making it glaringly obvious to anyone that the title is misleading. TYPOS! This is a published book. Why the hell are there typos? And not just little minor things - it was major things like dates, which meant the chronological sequence of events got really confusing before you realised that they were just plain wrong. This book is a really good read in terms of subject matter and reading words spoken by the serial killer themselves. There is a great deal revealed by the killers than TV shows have revealed.

This is my first non-fiction, documentary read for years and I have to admit the book is such an 'enlightenment' albeit its dwellings into the darkest minds and their 'modus operandi' which are really disturbing.Finally, and the reason I ultimately gave this book only one star, is that the misogyny throughout the book is pretty damn ridiculous, especially given the fact that, at the start of the book, Berry-Dee actually calls out the misogynistic way some men have written about women in the past. Talking with Serial Killers: Sleeping with Psychopaths: A chilling study of the innocent lovers of savage murderers This book contains conversations between a criminologist, and some of the worlds most evil and disturbed individuals. When I say evil, I definitely don't say it lightly. The information I have read in this book was unsettling to say the least, and terribly difficult to digest at times. I enjoyed the book. It provides a lot of detail into the killers childhood, who and how they killed and the law proceedings after. However, the wording of the novel really annoyed me. The writer made many comments about the killers physical appearance, use of the word ‘ugly’, or outdated slurs. Of course they’re bad people but isn’t the author supposed to be a professional? Why does the author write like that when he’s an expert and director of Criminology research?

Mă intrigau motivele unei femei, deși sunt arhicunoscute, de aceea am fost foarte atentă la interviul cu Aileen Carol Wuornos. Se pare că femeile reprezintă doar 2% din numărul infractorilor care au fost condamnați la moarte în SUA, un procentaj mic, dar înfricoșător dacă dai la o parte cortina. How to Make a Serial Killer: The Twisted Development of Innocent Children into the World's Most Sadistic Murderers

I think I expected more of an interview style storyline and hear more from the prisoners, rather than have the author summarise the countless interviews and correspondence with the serial killers he claims to have had. I enjoy a good book about the mind, however skewed that mind is, or how mixed up or evil. It all makes an interesting read, these case studies the author has compiled, as the dots can either be connected or not, and the people behind the masks can be seen. Bestselling writer and criminologist Christopher Berry-Dee turns his attention to a new kind of victim: the wives or partners of serial murderers who remained unaware of exactly who they had fallen for until after their other half's arrest or, in some cases, conviction, for multiple murders. I swear that I didn’t go out of my way to find mistakes, and yet I managed to notice at least 45 typos/punctuation mistakes/wrong sentence structures etc. This includes jams such as “She because a nuisance to her teachers, disrupted classes and fellow pupils, […].”, “[…] who could reach out to them of they were distressed, […]”, “[…] but, before feeling the scene, […]” and even “[…] 7 May 2105, […]”. This – in addition to a lot of weird, incomprehensible jump cuts and just generally terrible stylistic choices – makes it seem as though not a single editor ever had a look at this book before it was published. Furthermore, Berry-Dee seems to have a hatred for commas, not using them nearly often enough – thus making it very hard to follow his train of thought during his many trademark multi-clause sentences. When he does use them, he more often than not places them incorrectly. The most infuriating abuse of proper punctuation, however, is his seemingly arbitrary comma use when it comes to the word aka. Sometimes he uses a comma after this word and sometimes he doesn’t, making it clear that his peculiar punctuation isn’t a deliberate stylistic choice but rather ignorance in regards to grammar rules. Also, Berry-Dee apparently doesn’t believe in semicolons. On finding out the truth, these innocents often experience a strange kind of guilt for not having recognised the killer in their home, as well as having to face the grim reality of betrayal and deceit.
