I liked the idea of the book and thought it would be a good look into the psychology and physiology of a serial killer. I was sadly disappointed that there was no bibliography or research information included, also it makes me question the legitimacy of the subject matter.

The point where I was so disappointed with this book that I had to rate it one star is during the review of Dr. Harold Shipman's murders. The authors discuss that the doctor had a severe drug problem in his early adult life but they do not include drug addiction in the FBI High Risk Register outline of this killer as they do with every other killer that had a history of drug abuse.

Sadly this is not for someone who wants a real understanding of the mental and physical traits involved in creating a killer. 2-bit true crime at best. ( )

"It looked like I would never be punished by God or Satan, and when we died our lives just flickered out. The sooner a person understands that there's no punishment after death and allows their own impulses to take over, the sooner they become an unstoppable serial killer. That's the point I'd reached. It was scary, but it was exciting, too."
--Keith Hunter Jesperson, "Happy Face Killer," from The Creation of a Serial Killer by Jack Olsen
