Summary: Disturbing and provacative
Comment: I admit I bought this book out of a sense of curiosity more than anything else. What I got was the printed equivalent of a nasty car accident - you know it's going to give you nightmares but you just have to slow down and look anyway. I gave this book three stars beause I can't honestly say I "enjoyed" it, but I was very unsettled by it. Warning - there are several pictures here of murdered infants and children; wish I had known this in advance, as I am pregnant and I can't get those painful images out of my mind.
If you want the unglossed truth about what violent death looks like, this is the book to buy. It doesn't need to be in color to be graphic - the b&w is detailed enough. Good documentation, but with too much emphasis on the shock value.

Summary: Nice b & w shots...even if it was enhanced with color.
Comment: Great pictorial book, great shots even but then they were shot in b & w being they were homicide shots done in the early 20s and 30s. Imagine if the shots were enhanced with color. There are two ways of looking at this book. One way is to look at it at the era in which these shots were taken, how they were taken, and the situation it was taken in. Book was divided into several sections on how people died: auto accident, crime, suicide, and sickness. Its a good collection of homicide shots. The other way to look at this book is simply to just go thru the pages and scan each picture out of curiosity. No need to have a strong gut to view these pictures. They're not that gory. If you are looking for gore, this is not the book you want to see. Lots of blown off heads, decaptitated bodies, open and slashed up bodies, decomposed bodies, things you will normally see on gore movies. The only thing which separates it is the knowledge that these are REAL LIFE pictures. I enjoyed reading/looking at this book. Nothing really eye-catching here. Pictures are all b & w. Shots made in the early to late 30s. Mostly are homicide shots. That's it. I admire the guy who made this collection. Quite a collection too. But to say it's going to make you lose sleep, nope not this one; I've seen worse.

Summary: Pictures of dead children-Sick
Comment: Think about it. What would your family do if they saw pictures of you in these positions? What about if you saw a loved one or a friend? Would you really want people looking at pictures of your dead body or your dead child's body? Do you think that the people pictured would be happy about the way they are being exploited? These people had lives, family, and friends. What gives anyone the right? I really question anyone who would want to look at pictures of dead bodies just for the fun of it.
This book should be reserved for people who photograph crime scenes for a living-not for someone's morbid curiosity.
