About this ebook
'But I am a monster. I am the "Son of Sam". I am a little brat. When father Sam gets drunk he gets mean.... Sam loves to drink blood. "Go out and kill," commands father Sam.'
- David Berkowitz
Evil has many faces. Serial killers, drug kingpins, rapists, and simple murderers fill the pages of this horrifying collection. The actions of these terrible men and women are so vile you will find it hard to believe what they did.
The World's Worst Crimes features many of the worst criminals of human history, including:
· Carlos the Jackal, a terrorist who carried out a series of bomb attacks in Europe, but soon came to enjoy the violence for its own sake.
· Harold Shipman, who killed over 236 of his patients, taking advantage of his privileged position as a family doctor.
· The 6' 9" Ed Kemper, who captured unfortunate hitchhikers before he raped, murdered, and dismembered them.
· Jeffrey Dahmer, who tortured and killed his victims before eating them.

I can only give this 3 stars.There is at times lack of detail , inaccuracies on occasions with dates and few photographs. I will say, however that covering nearly 90 criminals in less than 300 pages is a good achievement.

Some of the cases highlighted in this book are fascinating others are a bit boring. As each story only takes up a few pages at the most it's easy to get into and read the whole thing quite quickly. I'd recommend this to anyone who wants an easy factual book to read.

I have to say the stories from the beginning of the criminals life till the end, was horrified and very disturbing. To hear in detail what the victims endures turned my stomach. I have to say this book is good and the information alone is spooky in it's own detailed sort of way.
