It’s not glorifying, it’s bringing awareness to serious issues society purposely puts off because it either doesn’t benefit you or isn’t political. Also, according to the author most of us older women would have loved Dahmer because he kept his apartment tidy!

I also liked how there was a chapter for each of the victims and also in the appendix there were the charges in more detail for each victim too. Sometimes, when we get so fascinated with these murderers and what makes them “tick”, we forget those who were killed by them. Uh, let’s see: 1) My parents divorced when I was 5, my mother and 3 siblings escaping our abusive, alcoholic father literally under cover of darkness and with a police escort, to spend that first night away on the floor at my godmother’s house.How did he ever expect Jeff to fully open up about anything when Lionel stated the fact that Jeff being gay was repugnant? I did think that it was interesting to compare killers to try and understand why they did what they did, he immediately ruined this by waffling on after the point about information that does not matter. Monsters are real ,the quicker you understand that the quicker you can protect yourself from being victimized by one.

For one of the reasons that made me pick Dahmer was the fact that while investigating his later murders the police found evidence of necrophilia, which is sexual intercourse or attraction towards corpses, and cannibalism, which is the act of practice of consuming another human’s organs.

What I do know is that, thanks to the Dahmer case, alot of officers some of who were captains were dismissed. Parents make excuses, rather than take responsibility for the problems they have sadly heaped on their children. Not sure how I feel about his death… Did he deserve to be murdered, or should he have lived in prison until the day he died naturally?

Noticeably different, he became increasingly withdrawn following the birth of his younger brother and the family’s frequent moves.

If one or both parents have a predilection for violence, then the child is more likely to grow up to become violent themself, especially when they grown up in a unstable/unhappy home environment, so the child spends all their time alone or with their siblings to avoid violence, conflict. What we did get was an interesting delve into his childhood, his parent’s relationship, his life leading up to the murders and potentially trigger points that could have led to Dahmer becoming what he did. Looking at the best in people is a good way to look at things but not to the point of being foolish.

if a dahmer feels like no one likes or loves him, and he cant feel any love towards the rest of humanity, then the rest of humanity are just things to them. His narrative style comes across as all-knowledgeable, arrogant and self-centered, while at the same time spending far too often directly quoting others. I decided to read this book because I hadn't read anything about Jeffrey Dahmer before, but since Christopher Berry-Dee quotes so many better authors in his book, I now have a list of other and hopefully better books to try. The difference between dharma and not beeing like him is just the level of fear and the longing of what to achieve for pleasentness.I was back to being appalled and sickened at the police officers who sent fourteen-year-old, Konerak Sinthasomphone back into Dahmer's lair after he escaped and was being helped by two women.
