Summary: Dahmer Book Review
Comment: We were assigned in English class to read a true-crime novel and relate to Shakespeare's murderous drama, Macbeth. I chose to read about Jeffery Dahmer, the psycho serial killer that murdered sixteen people and sometimes would eat his victims. The "cannibalism" was enough to get me really interested in the subject. The Milwaukee Murders describes in chilling detail all the events that occurred in the chamber of Jeffery Dahmer. This was one of those books that you couldn't put down. It offered a "Silence of the Lambs" theme, it was like Jeffery Dahmer was a real life "Hannibal Lecter". This book was great I wouldn't recommend this book for everyone due to its graphic nature, but it is very good for the people interested in serial muderers.

Summary: Good depiction of Jeffrey Dahmer
Comment: I found this book to be very interesting! I learned a lot of information that I didn't know before hand... Really the only flaw I had with this book in the constant time change! Meaning first you read about 1991 and than about 1978 and then right back to 1991! Like I said first the information was wonderfully written, which helps move the book along so quickly. I found the information about Konerak Sinthasomphone to be very repetitive! It of course makes you feel terrible about how the police didn't even want to bother with him. In my copy of this book it has photos in the middle of Konerak and I cannot understand how police officer that work with people everyday can look at that CHILD and think he was an of age adult!!! That is a pure outrage... The information about the suspension of the officer involved was very good; I just wish that they didn't get their jobs back... because they most defiantly did not deserve them! I enjoyed reading ch. 21 "Fault Lines" very much! I found the Q & A's with Ashok Bedi to be very intriguing and was a good depiction of the subject Jeffrey Dahmer. For being the first real study into Jeffrey Dahmer, I found this book to be very good in letting the reader know all information needed to understand Dahmer in Childhood, Adulthood, general Life and Death. One of the best parts of this book is Dahmer; statement on his final day of the three week trail... " I knew I was sick or evil or both."

Summary: Unprofessional Work!
Comment: Don Davis wanted to cash in on the public's fascination with Jeffery Dahmer. He wrote the first and best selling book about the serial killer. Unfortunately, it reads as if it was written by a high school student.
The matter-of-fact language used by Davis tries to demonstrate that he knows more than we think. There really is nothing revolutionary about the book. It as if he took a timeline of Dahmer's life and expanded on it with cheap metaphors. It is cheaped further by the fact that the author keeps repeating himself each time he starts a new chapter.
The other reviews of this book are accurate. It is not well written. Many facts are present, but they are poorly presented and hidden by frivilous information. As a result, this book has nothing to say. There must be better works on Dahmer's life than this.
