Just Meat and Potatoes

Revisado: 05-31-23

This is a concise and facinating summary of the many interviews Milwaukee Police Detective, Pat Kennedy and his partner had with serial murderer Jeffery Dahmer, over the many days immediately following his arrest. And it provides a real sense of Dahmer's personality and motivations. It's a nugget of gold for true crime fans, but offers little insight into Dahmer's pathology, early life and life outside of the individual murders. There is some exposition on these points at the very end. The writing is novice at times and some short passages are unnecessary. The narrator was clear and easy to listen to. I would recommend this book with the caveat that the narrative is purely in service of delivering the facts of the interviews. I gave it 4 stars because of it's value in understanding what Jeffery Dahmer did.

Great Introduction to F.B.I. Behavioral Science

Revisado: 05-04-22

This is the biographical story of retired F.B.I. Agent John Douglas as well as, the inception and first 15 years or so of the, behavioral science unit at Quantico, VA. It's dated as it was written in the late '90s but remains engaging and pertinent. I enjoyed it and recomend it to anyone interested in criminal behavior, the pathology of serial killers and who John Douglas is.

A Masterpiece of Reasoned Exposition

Revisado: 12-09-21

Vincent Bugliosi proves beyond a shadow of doubt that, Lee Harvey Oswald, alone, murdered President John F. Kennedy and that, to date, no credible evidence exists, to prove otherwise. If you want to know exactly what happened on November 22nd 1963 in Dallas, Texas, read/listen to this book.

Ambrose Balances Facts and Narrative Perfectly

Revisado: 11-03-21

I recommend this to anyone young, or old who wants to learn about D-Day, how and why it came together, as well as what it was like to be a soldier taking part in it (on both sides). The narration was clear and unobtrusive.
