5.0

So a serial killer writing a self-help book. An interesting concept that could have gone really bad, but didn't (well, not in the quality department at least). What's really interesting is that this book does exhibit your typical serial killer traits; obsessing, harming animals as a child, planning, etc.

As a quick warning: other than the obvious, the R slur does get dropped quite a bit within the last 30-40 pages of this book. Just a heads up for you people who'd rather not read that word if they can help it.

While reading I couldn't help thinking how Joe from You would absolutely have read this book and took pointers from it.
