Melissa M. (magickmom) reviewed Killers: The Most Barbaric Murderers of Our Time on + 6 more book reviews
This book seems informative at first but then you realize that many of the details included are wrong. I found it interesting but I didn't pay much attention to the details once I realized that some of the information was incorrect. I would not recommend using this book as a source for a paper or an article if it is important for you to have your facts correct. If you are reading it strictly for entertainment purposes, it isn't bad.

This was almost perfect for me because while I'd heard of most of these murderers I didn't know much about each one. There were a few exceptions, Ted Bundy and Charles Manson to name two.
I saw in another review that someone else mentioned it and I agree - two or three of these "murderers" (one may not have actually murdered) just didn't belong in the book. The Australian "dingo case" is one that I remember off the top of my head. I'd like to ask the author what made him add that and the other one or two in. While they are still horrible of course, they're so far different than any of the rest and really distract from the rest of the book.
This can be read very fast - all in one shot or story by story where it's easy to set down and pick back up.
