Mind Hunter: Inside the FBI's Elite Serial Crime Unit (Abridged) Audiobook

" This is the book that got me hooked on John Douglas. "

" Great read, but not just for story time. It reads something like a textbook or instructional, but is a great insight into profilers. "

" A fascinating book! John Douglas takes us through a good handful of cases he worked in the time he spent with the FBI's profiling unit, and describes the people he interacted with and the process of coming up with a criminal profile and all the details that go into it. "

" John Douglas' best book. I would give it more stars if I could. It took me alot longer to read this book because of the detailed information in it. That being said, I would read it again in a moments notice..it was so good "

" I could barely put this book down! It was fascinating and analytical and I loved it! I am disappointed that it had to end! "

" anyone that has any interest in profiling i highly recommend this. Have read it multiple times and there is always more to learn from this book. "

" Serial killers are fascinating and this book covers the big'uns. "

" I'm not really a "true crime" guy -- generally hate that stuff, but I found this on my dad's bookshelf a few years ago and it was pretty fascinating. "

" Very interesting. Could not stop reading. "

" Not for the faint of heart. John Douglas has had an intense career profiling some of the world's most renown serial killers, which he describes in incredible detail in this book. It was a striking look into the minds and actions of criminals. "

" Initially it was fairly interesting but as Douglas went into more and more cases, the perpetrators all began to sound alike. Eventually I laid the book aside. "

" An interesting perspective into psychopaths "

" Enjoy all of John Douglas's books. "

" Was dry in spots but overall an interesting read. "

" A bit slow at times, but very interesting. "

" Great book. Will help you understand and profile serial killers as you learn from the person who understands serial killers probably as good as anyone out there. This guy is pretty amazing and has info on every major serial killer out there period. Smart guy. Good book. "

" Seriously, this will petrify you when you learn how awful people can be to each other. "

" Excellent true-life stories about how profiling began in the FBI. Excellent read. "

" Fabulous book written by a guy who knows first hand what he is talking about. More facts crammed into these pages that you will almost anywhere else in multiple sources. And best of all: It's the real deal. "

" Robert Ressler's books are better. Douglas is a bit too full of himself. Regardless of which, it's talks a lot about behaviorial sciences and even has a case from Wilkes-Barre. "

" I found learning how a predator thinks to be very interesting. It is scary that the stories are true. "

" Great book, I wish there was just a little more insight into some of the cases they profiled on. Overall good read. "

" This is the book that inspired me to follow my dreams and undertake Psychology and Criminalogy Degrees at university "

" Well-written, as usual, and memorable for both the writing and the content. I wrote in a journal: "It reinforces that Epicurus quote for me: 'If God listened to the prayer of men, all men would quickly have perished: for they are for ever praying for evil against one another.'" "

" Great great book. Told by the man who created serial profiling within the FBI. I suggest this book to people who are intersted in this topic. It discusses how the procedure came to be and how it works when identifying a serial killer. The book refers back to several true life situations. "

" This book is by far the scariest book I have ever read. "

" Have long admired the work done by John Douglas and found this book fascinating and informative. "

" Interesting to see how the FBI tracks down crimals... "

" I liked it - it was a combination memior and "get inside the mind of a serial killer." I found it was an excellent reference in developing a sociopathic character. "

" What a great life story of a true hunter of real life monsters. If you are a fan of true crime or shows like Criminal Minds then you will love this book. In my honest opinion John Douglas is a hero !!!! "

" This guy has an ego the size of San Francisco, but he is truly a genius when it comes to crime investigation and profiling. The stories in this book are scarier than any horror movie. "

" Ye gods the man is arrogant. But, I greatly enjoyed reading this book. I find his writing intelligent, informative and as entertaining as a book of this type can be. I've since read several other books by Mr. Douglas and am waiting for more to arrive. "

" Great book. Will help you understand and profile serial killers as you learn from the person who understands serial killers probably as good as anyone out there. This guy is pretty amazing and has info on every major serial killer out there period. Smart guy. Good book. "
