jeffrey dahmer by dr. joel norris

this is a very good book filled with many interesting tid bits. i must have read it about 5 times. it's well illestrated, and really gets you thinking about one of the worlds biggest monsters as a person who only wanted to be loved.

Joel Norris - Top of the block!

Engulfed by Joel's words more than any other psychologist, psychotherapist, psychiatrist etc ever before, even including Park Dietz and his honest humanity; I can read his book in the minimal of time, because I cannot put the book down. 'Accurate' is an understatement to his definition, understanding and forthrigheousness. Morris' almost matter-of-fact like observancy is obvious of his qualification to talk on such matter - his account of Dahmer is supurlative, the ONLY one. If I may, I could ask you to check the review below........Quotes as such "I was drawn into his evil acts and shocked by his actions" and "He wanted to be loved so badly but he went about it in the sickest way" Copyright permitting from this person's review - this should really be the point of view from anyone, I think; and eventhough a negative and a poitive still equal a negative; I really STRONGLY agree; I do say that Dahmer could have been happy, but recognising anything 'different' in the age of a 6 year old is a nightmare for anyone, if not impossible. Whichever way, Joel Norris make this even more apparent than ANYONE could have thought before. I reccomend this book to anyone interested in Jeff, and serial killers in general - or more to the point.....EVERYBODY.

Jeffrey Dahmer's crimes of insanity pull you into the book

I could not put this book down. I was drawn into his evil acts and shocked by his actions. How could someone be that demented? I know that he wouldn't have stopped. But he was tired of playing his games. He was his own God and he created his own world in which his fantasy would become real. I believe he couldn't have been a happy person. He wanted to be loved so badly but he went about it in the sickest way possible. His fantasy world took over him. As dark as it was but in his mind it wasn't bad. To him he loved to people he murdered. They would live forever inside him.
