Whoever Fights Monsters

The cases are interesting and the distinctions between organized and disorganized killers are well written. Overall an informative book, but one star taken off due to the nature of Ressler’s unlikeable personality, honestly, the more I read the surer I became that he probably wasn’t a pleasant person to be around. Be prepared to endure huuuuge amounts of ego stroking, overall I recommend everyone to just stick to John Douglas. Dougla’s books are better written and less egocentrical.

Would give 1/2 a star if allowed. I couldn't finish this book. There is so much potential, however you have to extract any pertinent information from between the pomposity and egotism of the author. I wanted to learn about the beginnings of FBI profiling and read interesting interactions with some of the better known criminals we're all familiar with, not spend my time trying to pick tidbits from between the author's high opinions of himself. Save yourself the pain and just watch Mindhunter instead.
