Mindhunter

Such a mind-blowing and insightful book on the human psyche and what makes people act the way that they do. It's also a fascinating look at what life is actually like for a g-man and I found myself learning a lot about the FBI, numerous cases that they've cracked and a lot about the infamous serial killers themselves.

Mindhunter wasn't an easy read though, let me tell you that! No punches are pulled when it comes to the gruesome and horrific details of a lot of these cases, and at some points I found myself having to take a break from reading just to get my mind off of the horrible acts described. The fact that it took me about two months to get through this whole thing probably speaks for itself in that regard.

In saying all of that though, I've definitely gained a newfound respect for the people who devote their lives to work like this.
