I loved this book. It's been almost two years since I finished reading it, and it's still on my mind regularly. I learned a lot of fascinating facts and was sufficiently creeped out by the "criminal mind" aspects of the book. I will admit, however, that the lengthy historical portions related to architects and engineers tended to bore me and were sometimes skipped. I still give the book 5 stars, though!
