“This was an okay read, nice short snippets of people throughout history. Was a good way to pass some time.”
“Surprisingly, I didn’t already know about everyone in this book, so it was interesting in that regard. It’s a short book with 3-4 page chapters on some of the world’s most deadly people. If you want quick biographies of murderers, this is your book.”About Michael Burgan
