Negative Positive
Title: A good beginning, an egocentric ending
Review: I enjoyed the interviews with Dalmer and Gacy as well as the author's expertise in the serial killer arena; however, the book became increasingly tedious and self-involved as the chapters wore on. Frequently, Kessler is self-referential and self-congratulatory, attempting to deny responsibility for SNAFU's that occurred over the course of his career. In addition, he invariably gives himself considerable credit and seems to see himself as a sort of demi-God where this field is concerned. The book seems as much about this author and his perspective as it is about serial killers. At best, his tone is extremely irritating after page 150 or so.
Is the review positive or negative?
