Summary: Pretty good, as long as you take it for what it is...
Review: This book is a wealth of information concerning the history of documented serial killings and killers. However, most of the entries in this macarbe encyclopedia are trivial bits and pieces related to the crime scene, or at times, the modus operandi of the killer. Any real detail or psychological evaluations are not provided in this work, but overall an interesting read.

Summary: Good Read
Review: This is an intersting book that gives a general overview of just about anything that can be related to murder. The downside is that it doesn't give detailed information about anything, just a page or so about each topic. I would have liked to see more imformation. This is a good book for anyone who wants a general overview of serial muder, and other topics related, and despite the lack of detailed information, the book was very well written.
