There is something refreshing to be said for a book that just lays it all out there. While I'd read/heard about all 6 of these cases previously, it was kind of cool to have all the "artifice" stripped away and the facts laid bare. No psychobabble, no in depth look into things we already know. Becker calls it like it is: fucked up childhood, horrific abuse, lead these people to repeat the pattern on a grander scale-no let's have sympathy for the hand they were dealt. They had horrific childhoods, they did horrific things and they are being punished for it! Now of course, I may have been particularly in need of a no bs kind of read after the awful book I just finished plodding through, but I really enjoyed this one!
