Why: The Serial Killer in America

Rating:
Summary: Worse than Horrible
Review: I don't mean to sound like a high school student who was just told that they have to read Beowulf, but this totally sucks. The "factual" mistakes in the forward alone caused me to question just how many of her statements within the main text would be correct (e.g., "Richard" Dahmer, the inception of the M'Naughten Rule, as well as her overly generous view of the current capability to predict future violence). I finally gave up reading it because I didn't want to have a head full of incorrect knowledge. Hey, being the occasional pedant is bad enough; being a misinformed one is even worse :) Avoid this book!
