Title: Quite possibly the worst book I've ever read
Review: Given all of the skills available to Mr Ressler and his colleagues, maybe a more interesting topic would have been studying Ressler's massive ego, which appears to be hiding a serious inferiority complex about John Douglas. While Ressler is no doubt highly skilled as a detective, I find it amazing that he has invented every technique, coined every phrase, and discovered every new concept in the history of detective work. After enjoying John Douglas' works about the teamwork at the FBI Behavioral Science Unit, I was amazed by the relentlessly self-serving tone of this book. Everything is just "I, I, I, I,". The only time he stops to mention anyone else is when he takes time out to take a cheap shot at Douglas. As an author, however, he commits an even worse transgression - he is painfully BORING. I have never before put a book down half read. However, I won't be throwing it away - one never knows when insomnia might strike.
