My thanks to Ad Lib Publishers, Christopher Berry-Dee and Netgalley.
This turned out to be a fairly decent book. Though I had to spend some time slogging through a very opinionated author. Once he realized that this was a book about Jeffrey Dahmer, and not his own arrogant self, it got slightly better.
Within the first 4 pages Mr. Berry-Dee insulted liberal's "that's me!" Worse? He said we were bible thumpers? Really? I've been called an ungodly heathen quite a lot, but never a bible thumper! "My word, not his." Also, according to the author most of us older women would have loved Dahmer because he kept his apartment tidy! What? That makes no freaking sense! Was there a book on his shelf? No, just skulls!
Looking into Mr. Berry-Dees history, it's been alleged that he is a pedophile and someone who doesn't pay his bills. I'm not saying it's true or not. I'm just saying that back in 2008 he allegedly did some awful things, and then took off. He couldn't be found.
Why am I bringing this up? Because the author seems to have no problem accusing others of things of which he has no clue about. I'm just returning the favor.
Also? I'm liberal as anything, but I'm a firm believer in the death penalty. That is not what this asshole author would expect either!

"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

Disturbing.

I am in the outlier camp because I enjoyed (if that is the right word) this book. Yes, the prologue is a bit much it will rub many readers the wrong way. I wonder if some stopped reading there. I could see how one might want to put the book down at that point. I read on an I found the book to be interesting.

Perhaps the title is not the best. I don't think we really got into the mind of Jeffrey Dahmer here, but the author did talk about his childhood, his upbringing, his parents’ relationship, his time in the military and those he killed.

I appreciate that the author named his victims. So many times, the focus is on the killer. We remember serial killers’ names. They sicken us, they frighten us, we can't comprehend how they could do such unspeakable acts, we want to know more. Why? I'm scared of spiders, but I don't want to know more about them. Serial killers get a cult level status. While those who suffered unmeasurable pain, anguish and the loss of their lives are only remembered by their loved ones. Each victim is named. Yes, the author tells how Dahmer lured them and killed them as well. This book is not easy reading. Not at all.

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. How they didn't take the women seriously. How they could ignore a naked bleeding teen and send him back to the horrors that awaited him. How they laughed about their 'lovers' quarrel. Again, this is not easy reading.

Are there better books out there on Dahmer? Yes. But once I got past the prologue, which is annoying, the author does focus on Dahmer. I enjoyed reading the counts and charges against him.
True, one could read about this on Wikipedia, but I requested the book and although, I was hoping for more psychology, I wasn't disappointed.

If you can get past the prologue, it isn't half bad. True, you could skip the book and go to Wikipedia, but I'm reviewing this book and not that site.

Thank you to Ad Lib books and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the comments and opinions expressed in this review are my own.

I should never try another of this author's works. His narrative style comes across as all-knowledgeable, arrogant and self-centered, while at the same time spending far too often directly quoting others. It seemed to me that he was more excited on inserting his experiences meeting other serial killers, while also dropping his political and religious views in there for absolutely no reason at all.

[Rose · Rating 1 out of 5]

I went into this book expecting an informative telling of Jeffery Dahmers life. Instead I got an author who is very fond of himself telling his perspective and opinions on not just Dahmer but a variety of topics and killers. The first few chapters are purely just a chance for the author to brag about his career and all the killers he has met and spoke with (none of which relate to Dahmer or his story). Following this the author claims crazy things like Dahmer was a cannibal because his mother didn’t breastfeed him and he didn’t kill animals as a child like most killer because he was gay. Not only this it’s very clear throughout the book that the author isn’t accepting of mental illness not only in Dahmers case (Which i’m not trying to excuse his behavior) but also in Dahmers mothers case as he often blames her mental illness for why Dahmer turns out to be a killer and not Dahmers abusive father (who the author describes as a hardworking man and excuses the abuse as his wife was hard to live with because of her mental illness). He later goes onto a rant about psychologists and their place is the court room. This book is less of an unbiased informative killer analysis and more a very biased retelling of what happened. The author brushes over experts or evidence that does not support his opinions and instead gives a deep analysis on evidence and professionals who support his opinions.

if you’re looking for more information on Dahmer this isn’t the book for you. You wouldn’t believe this was written in 2022 and not 1922.

[Valerity (Val) · Rating 2 out of 5]

I’ve read quite a few books on Dahmer, but I found this one a slog. Too much blah blah, and opinionated attitude for me to put much stock in this author’s book. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

[Abigail Burrows · Rating 1 out of 5]

Where to begin... this is the first and last time I read anything by this author. 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.

Things I hated about this book, in bullet point format:
- the grammatical errors are so frequent it's quite embarrassing. Entire words missed out where one should obviously be, for example "...in a determined effort try to turn the youth into a...", he has clearly missed the word "to" between "effort" and "try"
- the sheer number of times he uses the words "layer-cake" and "metamorphose" is frankly quite annoying
- the patronising attempt of making the content lighthearted and directly questioning the reader as if the book is a conversation with a child
- if you removed all the words belonging to other authors, the book would be a third shorter
- the unnecessary reference to George Floyd felt like an attempt to be "current". Objection, relevance?
- HOW HE INCORRECTLY NAMED THE UNABOMBER AS "RICHARD KUKLINSKI" - if you're going to write a book on serial killers, at least get their names correct. The unabomber is Ted Kaczynski.
- his summary was initially mostly about OTHER serial killers. His ending paragraph was not words of his own, but of Ted Bundy's
- the appendix felt like an attempt to bulk the book out a little and give it more pages; totally unnecessary to give an itemised list of inventory and quoting the Milwaukee police department inventory number

Overall, this was an embarrassingly poor insight into the mind of Jeffrey Dahmer, as the title would otherwise lead you to believe. Each chapter (some merely a page and half) devoted to his victims was such a brief description and lacked any depth at all. This man has the audacity to run a master class (see his instagram page) on how to become a best selling author when his books are grammatically and factually incorrect from cover to cover. What a waste of my time I spent reading this.

Rant over!

Not my cup of tea. It was too much subjective.

[Holly Langfield · Rating 2 out of 5]

i have mixed opinions on this book. i picked it up when i saw it in a charity shop as i thought it would be interesting to get the facts of what actually happened in the case of jeffrey dahmer after watching the recent (and controversial to say the least) netflix show on the case.

i liked how the book was in a somewhat chronological order, and included a lot about jeffrey’s early years and home life, simultaneously explaining the cumulation of events and factors which perhaps contributed to and lead him to commit the heinous acts we now sadly know him for. i like how the book attempts to honour the victims by including a chapter on each of them in order, however i feel like some were quite rushed, especially the one on Anthony ‘Tony’ Hughes, although i understand that there were many victims to be discussed, and a lot of things to cover about the case in the book.

however i didn’t like how opinionated the author was from the start, and although i sometimes appreciate jokes / dark humour when appropriate to lighten the mood when speaking about heavy topics, i found the jokes in this book pretty cringe to be honest.
i thought the racial element of the case (how dahmer predominantly chose people of a minority ethnic background, and how dahmer managed to get away with his crimes for longer because of the police’s attitude to people of a minority ethnic background in the area) was quite glossed over throughout the book, and not really discussed.
i thought the chapter at the end of the book about how psychiatrists and psychologists assessed dahmer’s mental state at the time of his crimes was written quite weirdly to be honest - it was mostly an argument on how psychologists and psychiatrists ‘don’t get along’, and why this can cause serious consequences (evidenced through the inclusion of the case of arthur john shawross which seemed a bit of a tangent because the story, although important in its own right, is irrelevant to the book and the case in question).
i also think it was weird how there were a lot of spelling/grammar mistakes in this book, as it was written by a reputable and well renowned criminologist (where was the proof reading???)

all in all i’m glad i read this book - as a true crime nerd, it was interesting to hear the facts of what actually happened, and i liked the inclusion of sections about the victims and their lives (as brief as they may be), however i didn’t really like how the book was written and how opinionated the author was all the way through. i think there are probably better books about this case out there (although it is significantly better than the netflix show, for obvious reasons).

Los van dat de foto's en korte samenvattingen op het internet over de moorden van deze man al redelijk voor zich spraken was het erg interessant om dit boek open te slaan waarin de levensloop van Jeffrey "Jeff" Dahmer onder de loep wordt genomen.

Met een aandachtszieke moeder en een gereformeerde vader had hij niet bepaald een lekkere jeugd, waarin het wel duidelijk is dat een groot deel van zijn mentale toestand te wijten is aan dit gezin: heel soms is er bijgesprongen maar deze jongen heeft zichzelf, logischerwijs zonder veel vriendjes, alles moeten aanleren en dan helpt de fascinatie voor dode dieren ook niet mee.

Toen hij, na de zoveelste verhuizing, bij zijn oma in de kelder is gaan wonen is hij rustig begonnen met moorden: waar het eerst mislukt, is het daarna tweemaal onder invloed van alcohol wel raak: meenemen met een smoes om de jongen/man (soms minderjarigen) daarna te drogeren, verminken, verkrachten en te vermoorden: niet per se in die volgorde. Daarna werkt die het lichaam compleet weg (0 sporen) maar later in zijn leven en het boek volgen de moorden zich rap op elkaar op (soms zelfs maar 1,5 pagina per moord), zonder alcohol en begint die zelfs dingen te bewaren: eerst schedels, daarna handen, piemels en het vlees zelf. Dat laatste is tevens ook vaak zijn avondeten.

Los van dat het een walgelijk patroon is, mogen we van geluk spreken dat de beste man zoveel foto's en "souvenirs" bewaarde en een perfect geheugen heeft over zijn slachtoffers, dus ook over diegenen zonder stoffelijke resten (dus lege kisten/crematies voor nabestaanden) uitgebreid verslag deed. Ik ben niet verrast dat de beste man het nog geen maand volhield in de gevangenis, waarna die bij een van de eerste momenten zonder zijn persoonlijke escort is doodgeslagen met een halter.

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.

Hadden eventueel plaatjes in het boek gekund, nu stond bij elk hoofdstuk het hoofd van Dahmer en die heb ik inmiddels wel gezien. Foto's van slachtoffers zou indruk maken.

Goed boek, maar een semi-aanrader. Je moet maar van true-crime houden.

[Louise Gray · Rating 2 out of 5]

Once the author remembered this was a book about Jeffrey Dahmer and not himself, some interesting information was forthcoming. There is a lot of judgement and subjectivity in this account with Dahmer’s mother the target of much of this. These aspects detracted from how seriously I felt the book could be taken as a factual account of the crimes and person of Jeffrey Dahmer. It did trigger me to look into other sources and I was surprised by apparent duplication with Wikipedia content. While I appreciate receiving an advance copy from NetGalley, this is my honest review.

[kimmy☆ · Rating 1 out of 5]

My writing advice for Christopher is to never write again!!!!

Christopher gives an incredibly biased account of Dahmer’s life and crimes. He’s also an incredibly self absorbed writer and yet fails to deliver since around a third of his book is just quoting other people, often more competent than him. Christopher’s bias is very clearly visible when he:
- Dismisses psychologists and their work as well as calling them shrinks.
- Shifts most of the blame on Joyce Dahmer (Jeffrey’s mother) when it was very clear both of his parents were abusive and Lionel Dahmer was far from a competent father (not to mention he had a bigger issue with his son being gay than with his son being a murderer cannibal).
- Calls Dahmer’s schoolmates his friends when the real word fitting for them would be bullies.

Aside from being biased Cristopher also gets a lot of information wrong such as:
- Calling Ed Gein a serial killer and necrophile (Gein was only a suspect serial killer with only two confirmed victims and denied any sexual attraction to corpses he dug up and had in his possession).
- Labeling Dennis Nilsen a necrophile which he technically wasn’t as he also denied having sex with any of his dead victims. Perhaps a more fitting label would be tactile necrophiliac.
- Insinuates that Dahmer (as well as Nilsen) did not partake in zoosadism because they were gay?! Need I explain that there is no scientific link between the two?
- Oh and did I mention him saying Dennis Nilsen was A CANNIBAL?! This was my last straw.

For someone who spends half the book boasting about his achievements in the field Christopher has written perhaps one of the worst biographies on Dahmer, riddled with inaccuracies, typos and at times straight up fiction. I would not recommend this book to anyone! You are much better off reading stuff any other author Christopher mentioned wrote.

Christopher Berry-Dee ends his book with a quote of Ted Bundy’s which, while fitting and very powerful, is an awful way to conclude your own book as you yourself are unable to draw any conclusions from the mess you just put your reader through.

[Macy · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book had potential, but the author dropped the ball here. He came across as unbearably pompous and derogatory towards everyone working on the case, not just Dahmer himself. Lee ridiculed the defense team for doing their job, made his disgust at Dahmer’s mentally ill mother blatant, and emphasized the superiority of his own opinion over other psychologists. Between his tirades against religious groups, Lee did present some interesting information about Dahmer’s childhood. However, much of this can be found in other books. Overall, this book did not do a deep dive inside Dahmer’s mind as promised. Reiterating how depraved he was does not provide readers with new insights into the case.

[Holly · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is decent, but it is begging for an editor. No shade to the ideas presented but there are typos/factual mistakes that could be easily remedied. Stuff we all have done before in writing without someone reading it back to us.

[Laura Doe · Rating 3 out of 5]

Jeffrey Dahmer is one of the serial killers that I didn’t know too much about and this book was definitely a revelation. It takes you through from Dahmer being born right up to his death and a lot of the in between.
I’ve never read this author before but am aware of some of his other books and I think that this book was a good one to start with. I liked that we delved into Dahmer’s childhood and found some possible triggers from there but also that the author reinforced that not every child that suffers a specific trauma in their childhood becomes a serial killer, as I think it is important that the reader is reminded of this each time.
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. Far too often when reading or watching documentaries about serial killers their victims are glossed over and forgotten while their killer’s name is remembered.
There were a few things that I disliked about this book, the main one being the whole chapter that seemed to be dedicated to slagging off psychiatrists and psychologists. While psychology is not an exact science and different people in the profession can come to different conclusions, I feel that the author spent too many pages trying to prove his point. I also felt that a lot of contempt for the profession was coming through in the writing, which, as somebody who wants to become a psychologist, is not something that I appreciated. I understand that everyone has their opinion on it, but I felt that far too much time was spent trying to get his point across.
There were also a few mistakes that made it hard to make sense of a few things, I understand that it has only just been published and there will be a few mistakes (there was a repeated word in a sentence that wasn’t needed) but when it is an obvious mistake with a date (in the Anthony Hughes chapter it says that he was last seen on 24th September 1991 and then 2 chapters below it says that his family were notified of his death on 5th July 1991) it makes for very confusing reading.
I also found that a lot of the time Christopher Berry-Dee referred to the book written by Brian Masters, I’m unsure if this was only because he hasn’t spoken to Dahmer in person while Masters did but at times I felt like I should have just picked up his book instead. I also found that sometimes the author seemed to boast about which serial killers he had met in real life when he didn’t need to.
Overall, I liked the humour in the book and found the writing style easy to get on with. It wasn’t a pleasant book (what book about a serial killer is?) but it was well written. I would pick up other books by this author in the future. Thank you to The Motherload book club on Facebook for the opportunity to win this book in a giveaway and the publisher Ad Lib for my copy!

Nadat ik de serie op Netflix had gezien, wilde ik ook graag het boek lezen. Het verhaal is bekend. Dahmer was gruwelijk, angstaanjagend en ijzingwekkend kalm. Tegelijkertijd is zijn verhaal ook fascinerend.
De schrijver, Christopher Berry-Dee is een expert op het gebied van seriemoordenaars. Hij heeft er velen gesproken. En dat is voor dit boek gelijk een minpunt. Dahmer heeft hij zelf niet gesproken, maar hij komt veel terug op anderen die hij wel heeft gesproken. Dat heeft weinig met Dahmer te maken en voelt voor mij als "kijk mij eens even interessant zijn". Ik hou daar niet van.
Berry-Dee duikt in de psyche van Dahmer, maar voor mijn gevoel slaagt hij daar niet helemaal in. Het ruikt naar psychologie van de koude grond, een mening gebaseerd op derden.

Het verhaal is makkelijk geschreven, blijft interessant. Zelf had ik er uiteindelijk meer van verwacht.

[Annabelle · Rating 2 out of 5]

It feels like the author wrote this to showcase his "amazing" work and because he was pissed he didn't get to do that Interview with Dahmer back in the days. It's also just riddled with strong opinionated statements from the author.

[Lottie · Rating 1 out of 5]

Admittedly I have never read this kind of book before so I did not really know what to expect and (currently) have no other true crime book to compare it to.
Personally I did not like this book as the author was more interested in explaining and rambling about himself, I picked this book up to read about the killer not the author. However, I did that he referenced a couple other books to debate the claims made in said books but it was still dripping with condescending tones rather than allowing the reader to make their own mind up from the thoughts he had brought up.
Many of the authors claims are just claims with not a lot or very basic evidence, if he had spoken to professionals it may have given his claims more weight. 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.
I thought that the entry at the back with the court statements and the evidence presented was the most interesting part of the book.
I did finish this book but at what cost?

[Tegan · Rating 3 out of 5]

Took me a while to read this, I had to be in the mood to want to finish it.

I found it interesting and informative. Unfortunate crimes were committed and I feel for the friends and families of the victims.

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?

I’d recommend the book if you want to learn more about him. Berry-Dee writes several books regarding serial killers but this, I believe, is his only stand-alone book fixated on one killer at a time. Now to watch the Netflix series!

Christopher Berry-Dee postanowił zgłębić umysł jednego z najbardziej sadystycznych i psychopatycznych morderców w historii. Jeffrey Dahmer, na przestrzeni 13 lat, zamordował i poćwiartował siedemnastu chłopców i mężczyzn. Rozgłos jego sprawie nadał nie tylko liczba ofiar, ale przede wszystkim sposób, w jaki traktował ich ciała po śmierci. Korzystając ze swojego wieloletniego doświadczenia i wiedzy psychologicznej, Berry-Dee próbuje zrozumieć motywy Dahmera, jego amoralne popędy oraz przerażającą naturę jego nieludzkich czynów.

Być może o tym nie wiecie, ale należę do grona osób, które po ciężkim dniu chętnie słuchają kryminalnych podcastów. Tematyka seryjnych morderców fascynuje mnie, ponieważ zupełnie nie pojmuję, jak można czerpać przyjemność z cierpienia innych, a tym bardziej odbierać im życie. Historia Dahmera jest wyjątkowo niepokojąca, ponieważ nie tylko mordował swoje ofiary, ale również je spożywał. Muszę przyznać, że sprawa Dahmera nie jest mi obca, więc sięgając po tę książkę, liczyłam na odkrycie nowych faktów. Niestety, pod tym względem nie spełniła ona moich oczekiwań – nie dowiedziałam się niczego nowego.

Jednak mimo tego, książka jest dobrze skonstruowana. Każda zbrodnia została opisana szczegółowo, podobnie jak okoliczności spotkań z ofiarami oraz sposoby ich zwabiania. Autor skupia się także na dzieciństwie mordercy, starając się ukazać kluczowe momenty, które doprowadziły do jego przemiany w potwora. Ten aspekt bardzo mi się podobał, ponieważ nie każda publikacja poświęca tyle uwagi temu etapowi życia Dahmera. Niemniej, brakowało mi głębszego wglądu w tytułowy „umysł kanibala-zabójcy”. Miałam wrażenie, że autor próbował to osiągnąć, ale efekt końcowy nie był do końca satysfakcjonujący.

Książka będzie idealna dla osób, które nie są zaznajomione z tą sprawą. Jeśli jednak, tak jak ja, jesteście doświadczonymi słuchaczami kryminalnych podcastów, nie znajdziecie tu niczego nowego. Jest to lektura dla ludzi o mocnych nerwach, więc jeśli temat wydaje się Wam zbyt drastyczny, lepiej jej nie czytajcie.

[Becca · Rating 3 out of 5]

Potentially the title is misleading, I didn’t feel like we truly got into the mind of Jeffrey Dahmer.

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.

The prologue is unnecessary, where author loves himself a little too much during, but once he branches into actually talking about Dahmer it picks up.

I did appreciate how the author named the victims, and continued to give them names. A chapter, no matter how small it was, dedicated to each of them. Sometimes, when we get so fascinated with these murderers and what makes them “tick”, we forget those who were killed by them. All that is left is family and other loved ones mourning their loss.

Overall, it was a decent, quick read on Dahmer. But if you want more of a detailed psychological investigation into his mind, I am sure there will be more suitable books available.

[Katie · Rating 3 out of 5]

2.5 Stars.
This was an odd one. I liked that it does something a bit different and looks at different ideas about Dahmer and whether they hold water from a psychoanalysis angle. It's also a short book compared to a lot of True Crime, and so it doesn't get bogged down in masses of details about trials and such.
However, the tone is very strange. The author inject a fair amount of humourous asides into the text, which can often feel a bit tasteless - I'm a massive True-Crime fan and I can enjoy a bit of black humour, but this was even a bit much for me at times. He also had a bit of a smugness about him, and I felt his presence in the book a lot, whereas I think the best True Crime authors sink into the background.
This book is for people who regularly read True Crime and can handle the very grim details, as well as a bit of black humour. I think this would be a bit of a strange introduction for a TC newbie!

Eerlijk gezegd ben ik niet “enthousiast” over dit boek, in hoeverre je hierover ook enthousiast kan zijn.
Het voelde voor mij enorm aan als een kopie van de Netflix serie maar dan slechter.
Ik vond de schrijfstijl van de auteur niet heel goed.
Ik had verwacht echt meer een kijk te krijgen in het leven van Dahmer, maar het waren vooral veel overgenomen citaten. Ook vond ik dat de auteur veel over zichzelf praatte, en zijn gesprekken met andere seriemoordenaars aanhaalde, in plaats van echt de diepte in te gaan.
Ik vond het gedeelte over de jeugd van Dahmer wel interessant, omdat je zo al een beetje ervaarde hoe hij is gevormd, maar ik miste alsnog heel veel informatie welke het verhaal veel beter had kunnen maken.

[Rebecca · Rating 2 out of 5]

Christopher lures you in with a 'author Christopher berry-dee is the man who talks to serial killers' on the back page which then tells you the first chapter he never got a chance to speak to Jeff dahmer as he took on another case instead. So this book is made up on facts taken from similar books, files and his own opinion. This book is a quick read however, there were a couple of grammatical errors and repeated/missing words within each chapter and one quote from Jeff was repeated twice in the same chapter. The book clearly didn't have someone read over and check it.
