This review is from: Milwaukee Massacre (Mass Market Paperback)

This book was hard to read, to say the least. This book is not for the faint of heart, nor is it an everyday book that sits by your nightstand. However, if you're interested in reading about serial killers, this book will definitely interest you. The book is a quick-paced book about one of America's most bizzare serial sex killers. Jeffery Lionel Dahmer is responisble for at least seventeen confirmed murders. All men that were all strangers to this sick serial killer. This book chronicles Dahmer's life. From a young age Jeffery Dahmer found himself fascinated with death. When most kids were collecting sports cards, toys, ect., Dahmer collected dead animals. That wasn't all though. He would take a chemist-set his parents bought him and see what chemicals would disolve the dead animals (the same method he would use on numerous humans; victims). As his parents' marriage fell apart, so did Dahmer and his soul. He quickly found himself indulging in large ammounts of alcohol, which started around the age of fourteen.
His first victim was Stephen Hicks, who had failed to return to his parents' home after a weekend rock concert. They filed a missing persons report, but little did they know that the infamous serial killer Jeffery Dahmer had killed the poor young man, and destroyed his body through the use of chemicals and then took a sledgehammer and crushed his bones and hid them. At the young age of eighteen, Dahmer had begun a killing spree that would last for thirteen years and involve sixteen other victims. Jeffery Dahmer was a insane sex killer, who prayed on innocent victims and seen that any of them that were in Dahmer's grasp meant certain death. Dahmer would lure his victims in with the promise of money, what they got is unmentionable. Dahmer was a closet-homosexual, that would try to disolve the dead bodies in diffrent kinds of chemicals (trying to dispose of their bodies), he was a cannibal (in one section of the book, authorities asked him why he had a human heart in his freezer, he replied "I was saving it to eat later"), he was also a necrophiliac who had a terrible fear of abandonment. This book is very informative, taking interviews from neighbors, childhood friends, family members and local authorities. However, this book isn't for anyone with a weak stomach, they explain EVERYTHING. This book is also a little out of date -- it didn't mention his death in prison (he actually died at the hands of another inmate) nor did it take it any further than a month after the bizzare discovery. If your a reader of the minds and actions of serial killers, then I highly recommend this book, even if you're interested in the murders that Dahmer committed. This book delves deep into the mind of the serial-sex-killer and will leave you speechless.
