About this listen

The science of personality theory has advanced dramatically in recent years clearing the way for this useful and edifying speculation about the inner workings of horrific serial killers. Applying personality theory to more than a dozen of the most notorious serial killers in modern history, the mystery surrounding their crimes begins to unravel. What drives them to commit horrific crimes? How does sexual desire fit into their motivation? Why do some stop killing while others escalate? What are the different types of serial killers based on personality theory?

Contains mature themes.

What a robotic waste of time

This book was very basic and not interesting at all plus the delivery was so robotic that it made it 10x worse.

A good book if you are new to the genre

Finally someone makes it clear that all psychopaths are not narcissistic. As an autodidact serial killer student for more than 10 yrs this topic has always been discussed so nice this was addressed.

However the writing style of the book makes it a quite dull read.

There is a lot of information especially for people who are new to this genre.

If you have read a lot about serial killers and the different personality clusters there is not much to learn from this book.

Interesting

I'm a fan of Dr Grandes you tube channel. He gives a logical analysis of the differences and similarities among serial killers. He also gives the legal definition of what a serial killer is and describes the problems with the legal definition. It's interesting to listen to a psychological analysis and comparison of the differences and similarities.

An interesting and well presented theme

This book is an eye-opening information for those who work in psycho-social fields and anyone who is ready to understand the potential causes, complexity and dangers of this phenomena, even during their imprisonment.
