4.0 out of 5 stars Fasinating, riviting...but in a weird way!
I took a sexual devience course in college and this was required reading. I still own the book and love it! I thought that it was very organized and written in a straight forward style- no holds barred. Not for the weak stomach or anyone who even kinda gets the hebbie-jebbies by, say....child pornography.

3.0 out of 5 stars Typos, misspelled and misused words
Great compilation of information, there is some bias noted, but the main complaint is this was required for a college course that took off points for grammar, misspelled words and the like yet this book has hundreds of them. I am not an English major but even just using Word it caught so many mistakes, let alone the ones that were patently obvious. I would love to re-edit...

4.0 out of 5 stars Fasinating, riviting...but in a weird way!, July 9, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Sex Crimes (Paperback)
I took a sexual devience course in college and this was required reading. I still own the book and love it! I thought that it was very organized and written in a straight forward style- no holds barred. Not for the weak stomach or anyone who even kinda gets the hebbie-jebbies by, say....child pornography. Holmes WILL describe hideous events involving all sexual deviences. What I liked most about this book was that there wasn't a lot of confusing deep analysis of peoples' psychosis. This is a good learning tool for anyone interested in criminology/psychology or sexual devience.

Great compilation of information, there is some bias noted, but the main complaint is this was required for a college course that took off points for grammar, misspelled words and the like yet this book has hundreds of them. I am not an English major but even just using Word it caught so many mistakes, let alone the ones that were patently obvious. I would love to re-edit this book for this Author. --Still shaking my head over this one--
