This book is not for the regular reader. It is more an academic book. Or for criminologists. This book discusses the theory behind multiple murders. The theory as to what causes people to commit mass murder. I found it too difficult to read. I feel that more case studies should have been provided as examples. This book reads like an essay. However, I would especially like to see references to various quotes throughout the book. In particular, there is one quote to a murder of nine pupils in a school in Australia in 2008. I could find no reference to this online and unfortunately, there is no reference in the book. This is I believe a major failing in the book.… (mais)

I was interested in this book because of my love for criminal psychology. I do enjoy reading a good murder mystery, but this wasn’t that sort of book. This was more of an educational book on different types of murder. I found this to be super interesting and I was engrossed in this vehicle on and off for a few days.

I do believe that there are different types of mass murder, at least when it comes to the psychology of the person committing the murders. Someone who commits a mass murder like a shooting can be impulsive, while someone who commits murder over a period of time, takes planning and commitment. The different types of murderers have different traits of a sociopath.

Although this book may feel a bit dry and text book like, I didn’t have any problem getting through it. If you enjoy learning about criminology, then this is a great starter book. It’s easy to read, and kept my interest. I give this book 5/5.
