I'm extremely disappointed with this book. The collection of cases was generally good, though there were a couple of entries that had me raising an eyebrow. I think listing Dr. Kevorkian as a serial killer is a bit of a stretch and including Vlad Tepes without also including other warlords like Genghis Khan seems a little silly as well.
On top of the selection issued, the book is in need of a decent copy editor. Aside from the general grammar and spelling issues, half of the stories are written in a scatter shot manner, completely disregarding the order in which events occurred.
I'm also left wondering how much information I really gained from this book. There is a disclaimer at the beginning that mentions this is just a collection of brief bios, but there were a few entries I already knew a great deal about and I don't think the blurb included painted a very accurate picture of those individuals.
Overall, I had to force myself to finish the book based solely on the principle that I refuse to leave a book unfinished. Without such a principle, the book would be shoved to the back of a shelve to collect dust. Maybe burned.
Nope. Definitely burned. ( )
