My Friend Dahmer

My Friend Dahmer is by Derf Backderf. Ok, this is creeeepy! A nonfiction graphic novel written by a high school classmate of serial killer, Jeffrey Dahmer. Backderf manages to make you feel pity for Dahmer, while never excusing his horrendous crimes. The graphics are extremely well done and give you a real feel for what is happening. You will walk away from this book asking the same question Backderf asks, "where were the adults"? If someone had paid attention, would Dahmer's victims still be alive?

Ratings: 10th grade - 9 out of 10 - P (profanity) - AC (mature thematic content) - V (violence).
