The title of the book boasts "The Most Evil People In The World Tell Their Own Stories" - the killers he's included in the book are, by no means, the most evil people in the world. I don't normally review - this book should come with a warning - prepare for extreme cliches and hyperbole. But Myra Hindley isn’t just the cover girl, she is also mentioned in the blurb, alongside other women such as Rosemary West – who is also only mentioned in passing (but this time at least a bit more often with what I counted as around ten instances throughout the book). Another annoyance I had was that the author interviewed the killers yet maybe 3 pages gave detail on these conversations. I am so sick of educated people, especially the ones from Europe, who don't realize how easy it is to slip into homelessness - and all the accompanying concomitants like drug habits and prostitution - in the US if you happen to be an unlucky kid in their teens kicked out by their parents with no social network to fall back on, to name just one of some very realistic scenarios.

On finding out the truth, these innocents often experience a strange kind of guilt for not having recognised the killer in their home, as well as having to face the grim reality of betrayal and deceit. Książka rozpoczyna serię, w której będziemy mogli przeczytać o psychopatach, królowych zbrodni oraz o najgorszych na świecie, także ja jestem bardzo zaciekawiona pozostałymi częściami. Those sentences mentioning them, which are really so few and far between, could have easily been left out without losing any relevant information to the story.The interviews raise some important questions about whether these people are sane, how they came to commit this crimes and in some cases, whether they actually committed these crimes or did someone else do it and get away with it.

This book looks at the crimes of these people and gives an account of their perception of what they did and in some cases gives answers to what drove them to commit such heinous crimes. But the worst parts are when the author quotes "facts" like, apparently, sexual violence occurring in 55% of lesbian relationships. There is very little content dedicated to any actual conversations he has had with female serial killers. Turning to the last page of the book, I spare both the victims (legitimately) and the murderers (unsoundly) my sympathy because at some point, both sides have suffered from life. However, Berry-Dee takes this to a completly new level by apparently being unable to resist the urge to describe the physical appearance of EVERY SINGLE FEMALE HUMAN BEING mentioned in the book in a quite frankly disgusting manner.

He also claims the following: "My book, Monster (John Blake Publishing, 2006) thoroughly details the life and crimes of Lee Wuornos. We are introduced to serial killer Cathy May Wood and he describes her as This overweight lump of disgusting humanity (Page 29) If the part of her you find easiest to hate is her appearance and her weight then you need to reevaluate what you find so offensive about her looks instead of the crimes she committed. I just had so many problems with it, like it has Myra Hindley on the front cover and she isn't even featured in the book.

This is my first non-fiction, documentary read for years and I have to admit the book is such an 'enlightenment' albeit its dwellings into the darkest minds and their 'modus operandi' which are really disturbing. I found some of the passages to be quite sexist in refering to women as the "fairer" sex and there are a few sentences pointing towards the opinion that women are more likely than men to over react and murder for no apparent reason. Because female murderers, and especially serial murderers, are so rare compared with their male counterparts, this new study will surprise as well as shock, particularly in the cases of women like Beverley Allitt, who kill children, and Janie Lou Gibbs, who killed her three sons and a grandson, as well as her husband.This includes jams such as “She because a nuisance to her teachers, disrupted classes and fellow pupils, […]. but then again I'm also not sure not how Berry-Dee knows they were plain given that this particular trial happened in the '60s, but there we have it.

In this book he focuses on the most twisted and depraved female killers, mostly American and British. Most chapters start out with Christopher Berry Dee giving us some background information on the killer in question, then listing the murders that he/she committed , and finally we get a couple of quotes - I wouldn't say that classifies as "telling their own story" like the cover states. Cu toate că m-am antrenat să fiu imună la astfel de orori, mai ales știind în ce lume voi călători, nu m-am putut împiedica să îmi adresez tot felul de întrebări, să strâmb din nas la cele mai îngrozitoare imagini, să iau pauze și să încerc să înțeleg cât de inuman poți fi să acționezi astfel.

This book would be better if the author would have given us information about these serial killers or the crime scenes which we couldn’t find anywhere on the internet. There are certain serial killers mentioned within these pages, and the crimes that each person committed are written in great detail. With over twenty-five years and hundreds of hours of audio and video interviews, he collects ten chilling true crime stories from the murderers themselves, describing some of the worst crimes known.
