Description

Having spent years interviewing imprisoned criminals - including notorious serial killers - he discovered that the lack of remorse these people showed was in many ways even more terrifying than the crimes they had committed. The guy's clearly written a lot of books (if they're anywhere near as bad as this one I have no idea how he's the "no. a thought, but perhaps if the author didn't use this horrendously tedious sentence every other page he wouldn't have to lament the insufficient word count every four pages. Firstly, I can't seem to separate the author's voice- his presence, as 'author' - from what he's discussing, and while this is often something which benefits or adds to a book, I really feel that Berry-Dee is unfairly the main focus of this book instead of its extremely interesting subject matter.

One of my issues with this book was that even though it featured lesser-known serial killers, it continued to quote and constantly find a way to bring other well-known serial killers into the story. I bought this at an airport 11th August as it was number 1 in non-fiction for at WH Smith’s and I was intrigued. There are so many amazing true crime books out there, do not waste your time and money on this narcissist. In fact, this is probably one of the most superficial books I have ever read about anything sociological, with the author making it quite clear at the outset that he thinks these, often neuro-atypical, serial killers are simply monsters and brutes, without any nuance. This book examines horrific crimes committed by some of the most remorseless and merciless people ever to have lived.He has a grating buddy buddy style that manages to convey absolutely nothing - for all his bluster about gaining access to these twisted minds and skirting the abyss, his revelations boil down to the fact that serial killers are manipulative and vain - Wow, who would ever have believed that? But that is not to say that there is a clear link; that's not to say that every single person who has committed a crime did so because they suffer from mental illness, and it's certainly not to say that everyone suffering from a mental illness is capable of committing such a crime.

The final section based on Carol Bundy is by far the most interesting section, anyway, and ends the book on a high. As a topic it is interesting topic, and terrifying as there is no way to tell a normal person from a psychopath until it is too late. Bestselling author Christopher Berry-Dee is back with a companion volume that delves even deeper into the savage world of psychopaths and their hideous crimes. Nie sposób zliczyć dygresji (które bardzo często były o niczym) oraz wspominania bohaterów innych książek Berry-Dee (oczywiście z jednoczesnym ich promowaniem), co naprawdę przeszkadzało na odpowiednim skupieniu się na danym case.

It is badly written, appallingly edited (if at all), patronising, inaccurate, repetitive, dull, mundane, narcissistic, did I say repetitive, probably but who cares! This is not a book for the squeamish, but it is undeniably fascinating in its portrayal of just what one human being will do to others - while all too often moving among us unnoticed and unhindered. Case Study -- Psychopath: The Shawcross ConfessionCase Study -- Savage: John David Guise Cannan -- A Very British Monster; Case Study -- Psychopath: Kenneth Allen McDuff -- 'Big Mac'; Case Study -- Savage: John 'JR' Robinson; Tailpiece: Could You Have Spotted These? Przytacza fragmenty ich listów nie po to, aby przedstawić chore umysły, ale po to, by się pochwalić.

His mocking of the innocent Thomas Evans for his apparent learning difficulties was definitely a step too far. Beyond Evil is an eye-opening examination of the evil actions some will do to others while managing to pass as an ordinary person on the outside. The case studies don’t focus so much on the crimes themselves, as on the psychological state of the criminals, and possible events which led them to commit such atrocities. There is no scientific examination into the true working of such deprived minds or any hypothesis as to their abnormality. But as a book, it was strangely structured which put me off, kept on using the same quotes and asserted so much of the author's own opinion and references to his other books that it felt more like an advertisement.Berry-Dee uses language best suited to a gutter tabloid to paint demonic pictures of serial murderers, without giving any understanding or insight into why they committed such dreadful crimes. Indeed, I feel I have learnt more about how Berry-Dee manipulates people, than I have about the mindset of the killers. I want an authoritative yet unimposing voice in the non-fiction I read, the subject and facts speaking for themselves.
