So it would make sense, that he feels alone, unwanted, abandoned and lonely as a child then as a teenager & adult. Het boek leest snel weg, mede vanwege de simpele schrijfstijl (love it), je moet soms even stilstaan bij waar je over leest. De moorden en feiten staan ff onder elkaar in de appendix, dat is een duidelijke afsluiting. His dad Lionel Dahmer wanted closure.

They didn't want to get involved due to Jeffrey Dahmer being gay though which is ridiculous, stupid, insulting to his victims, and absolutely disgusting. Not all of his victims were gay, but some of his victims were underage.

I think it shows the incompetence of the police at the time Jeffrey Dahmer, was hunting/stalking Milwaukee for potential victims, that they believed him when one of his victims escaped and tried to get help from the police. He was nearly caught, it’s with hindsight to wonder along with Berry-Dee, why he wasn’t. But the satisfaction comes in the end of the book, where we learn about his death. The prison vs mental insinuation case and why the rulling of that was so critical.

I think part of the problem during his childhood, the way he was raised was due to him being alone a lot, especially when his parents were divorced he was abandoned. Forensic psychologist Kenneth Smail interviewed Dahmer at the request of his defense team, who were at the time seeking a plea of insanity. During Smail’s 30-year career, he’d never seen a case like Dahmer’s before or since. “He took his fantasy world to a degree and in places most of us would never even conceive of,” Smail says.

the unnecessary reference to George Floyd felt like an attempt to be "current". Objection, relevance? Thank you to Netgalley and Ad Lib Publishing for an advanced readers copy of the book. All opinions are my own. It was my way of remembering their appearance, their physical beauty. I always wanted to keep...if I couldn't keep them with me whole, I at least could keep their skeletons." - Dahmer, The Journal Times, 8 February 1993
