I get he is trying to tell the reader that if you found this interesting, you might want to read my other book where I mentioned it too but it comes across as repetitive self promotion. There are undertones of sexism, brash opinions that aren't objective nor well rounded, and at one point he says if you disagree with his point of view, that means you are okay with having your wife or children raped and murdered and their corpses left out to rot in the cold (no joke).

Our resources are crucial for knowledge lovers everywhere—so if you find all these bits and bytes useful, please pitch in.That being said, had I come across the writing on a blog, which would have been more fitting for the personal, informal writing style, as well as capable of holding links to the author's other works, I would have found it more enjoyable I think. The dates are haywire - some people are executed before committing the crimes that landed them on Death Row in the first place - perhaps Dee was channeling Philip K. It certainly doesn't seem up to Berry-Dee's usual standard, seemingly purposed to include everything left on the cutting room floor from the main books in the series, but there was still a lot that I enjoyed learning more about. As someone with a psychology background and a guilty (excuse the pun) interest in True Crime, I felt let down on both fronts.

It will not make for a comfortable bedtime read because it is solely intended to put you inside the heads of those killers who thrive on pure evil' - from the author's introduction.He has a grating buddy buddy style that manages to convey absolutely nothing - for all his bluster about gaining access to these twisted minds and skirting the abyss, his revelations boil down to the fact that serial killers are manipulative and vain - Wow, who would ever have believed that?

Berry-Dee here puts himself so central in this book, never misses an opportunity to boast or try to be witty, and as a consequence ends up meandering and weakening the presentation of his subject. To add to his egotistical ways, Berry-Dee constantly advertises previous books he has written and all I can say is that I’d rather stick pins in my eyes than ever read one of those. At one point, after discussing a young woman's gruesome death, he has the vulgar temerity to insert a quote from the victim's mother plugging one of his books on the subject. Autor przedstawia turbo ciekawe sprawy, nazwiska, których nie znam, ale robi to w tak irytujący sposób, że zamiast cieszyć się z książki i chłonąc treść, połykam przekleństwa i wywracam oczami. If you could avoid stroking your own ego line after line during 290 pages, the reader would appreciate it too.Having spent years interviewing imprisoned criminals - including notorious serial killers - he discovered that the lack of remorse these people showed was in many ways even more terrifying than the crimes they had committed. It would be remiss to deride a person for believing “Talking with Psychopaths and Savages” contained conversations with psychopaths. I continue to read but the interview never comes, just a history of the killer and what he did (I could find this on Wikipedia) and the authors opinions. Talking With Psychopaths And Savage's Beyond Evil by Christopher Berry-Dee is book 2 in this series and it's definitely darker than the first but it also came across that the author wasn't bothered this time with placing little snippets of his real opinion as well as his professional opinion thought out about these evil people he has interviewed in his working years as a criminologist. A jak wiadomo wśród wielu psychopatycznych skłonności narcystyczna osobowość jest bardzo często spotykana.

I am so happy that I finished this book before the year ended so I could leave it in 2020 and never look back. This is cheap, empty, self-important writing, and the book hasn't been properly edited - poorly structured with unnecessary repetitions, spelling and grammar mistakes.Includes many of the author's unique first-hand interviews and correspondence with convicted serial killers, proving that the world's most monstrous killers may be much closer than we think . We understand that not everyone can donate right now, but if you can afford to contribute, we promise it will be put to good use. In my opinion, this book is saturated with egotism, self-indulgence, a merely subjective opinion and the promotion of the author's other books at every possible step.
