Reviews for Obsession
4 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very interesting book. What I like about this book is that while it does tell about various criminals, sexual predators, etc; it also tells how to protect yourself and what to look for. Something everybody should know.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Pioneer FBI profiler Douglas discusses some of the crimes he has investigated and lobbies for victims’ rights and the death penalty. While the cases discussed and the methods used to profile the criminals are fascinating, the writing is so dry and boring that it was nearly impossible for me to retain my interest.
