The Shrine of Jeffrey Dahmer

Hoo boy. This was a tough book to read. I picked it up because I just read [bc:My Friend Dahmer|12959045|My Friend Dahmer|Derf Backderf|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1325285515s/12959045.jpg|18116420] and I was curious about what happened after that book ends. Wow. So much I didn't know about this, even though it was in the news a lot when I was a kid, and really, wish I still didn't know.

The only reason I didn't rate it higher was because between passages of great insight, there were these rambling, pretentious, pedantic diatribes that could have been presented in a more straightforward design in which the material would prove to be more cognitively accessible and less arduous to read (see, I can do it, too.).

Again a book you can`t really "love" but still a great read. This time Brian Masters writes about the case of the necrophiliac cannibal Jeffrey Dahmer and the book is an interesting page turner despite all of the the horrible details.

Well I have already read it and yes I am not disappointed.
Brian Master is a wonderful author.
I also owe another book written by him called Killing for Company, which is also about a guy murdering (and slaughtering other men and both Dennis Nilsen and Jeffrey Dahmer seem to have lots of similarities)

Brian Master is very good at writing about the emotional state of Dahmer, more into the psychology stuff. Was he sane when he committed those crimes? This made this book a very interesting read.
