The Crime Book (DK Big Ideas)

If this is a subject that interests you then buy this book. It has a great variety of information with wonderful pictures. It’s easy to read and comprehend for all ages.

While this book is not a comprehensive encyclopedia of crime, it makes a judicious selection of some of the more famous (or infamous) acts of man's inhumanity to man. It manages to present just enough examples of each category of criminal activity without just becoming a boring litany of bad behavior. I must admit, it can be a bit depressing to see the depths some of our fellow human beings can sink to, but it is a compelling read non the less.

Even for a seasoned reader of true crime novels and stories, This book is presented in a manner that I feel most people would enjoy. The stories are short but factual and you can always research the crimes on your own. I enjoyed reading this book and look forward to other books on other topics.

This is an excellent book for what it is - an overview and short synopsis of 99 real-life crimes. The book is separated into major categories (organized crime, murder, kudnapping, etc). I recommend this book. Please mark if you find my review helpful. Thank you so much!

LOVE LOVE LOVE the quality of this book! Nice hardcover.....durable and tons of information. Will be purchasing the psychology one next!

Should have checked the size before I purchased it, but it was much larger than I had thought. It is less the size of a book and more the size of a textbook.

Another great book from DK. Arrived fast and in perfect shape. No complaints.

Pretty interesting stories but a couple I knew really well and they differed from books that only were written about that one subject.
