Whoever Fights Monsters

I've recently discovered I enjoy true crime. I finished all of Buzzfeed's Unsolved Series and It's pretty funny and they have some light takes and jokes about unsolved crimes and mysteries. This book is a bit more heavy. If you enjoy true crime I recommend it highly, otherwise if you are sensitive to violent subjects or have a weak stomach I would skip.

I've never heard of Robert K. Ressler before this book, which is surprising because it sounds like he's done a ton of important and useful work for the FBI. He clearly has a passion and fascination with serial killers. The interviews with the criminals are chilling and really interesting. Sometimes this books kinda feels like a vanity project, he seems a bit into himself. I understand he has to establish his credentials, but sometimes I feel he goes on a bit much. Once he actually gets to the meet of his subjects it really picked up for me. I was kinda hoping there would be some transcripts, but hearing about the cases and learning more about the killers of the past was extremely interesting to me. ~Ashley
