Good one
This movie was intense. That acting was great. Russell Crowe really played the part of a psychopath well. The cinematography was well done and the story was a nail biting, edge of your seat thrill ride. There were more than a couple of "holy crap!" moments. If you're into psychological thrillers you'll really enjoy this one. REALLY worth a watch!

Never looked at business cards the same again.
American Psycho is one of the best Psychological Thrillers, Black Comedies, and Horror movies to date. Christian Bale plays Patrick Bateman so well that even though he is a psychopath you just can't help but like the guy even though you kind of want to punch him in the face at the same time.
Definitely, add this to your need to watch list.

<i>So. Many. Short. Stories.</i>
Sometimes these kinds of weird, old school, random books really hook me, but I can't explain why. This is one of them. This story has the most simple of plot lines, yet it does so well to inflict fear and excitement into the reader.
I loved the writing. I loved the tension. I loved the plot. I loved the psychopath. I loved the ending.

Lighthearted story telling
I love this podcast. I have been listening for 5 months now.
I love how each episode is completely different and has it's own theme. Told light-heartedly but very descriptive. Bringing true crime alive in this informative series.
Learn about cold cases, the worlds most cold blooded killers and dive deep into the minds of a psychopath.
Find yourself re-listening and researching real cases.

I hate clowns, really hate them. Ever since I was about 11 years old and decided reading IT would be a good idea. That's a hell of a novel for a child to struggle through and it wasn't until many years later I felt brave enough to watch the movie - it just solidified my hatred of clowns.
So it was kicking and screaming my not so darling husband dragged me to watch IT a gleam in his eye the entire time (I swear the man is a psychopath sometimes).
In my not so humble opinion this remake is far better than the original despite being 10x more terrifying to those of us with a bad case of coulrophobia than the 1990 version. It's creepier with better cinematic focus and acting.
I'm looking forward to seeing the story and my terror continued in the sequel when the psychopath drags me to see that one too.

Jon Ronson, the author of Men Who Stare at Goats, dives into the psychology behind the PCL-R, also known as the Bob Hare Psychopath Checklist (revised). Having heard about the checklist, Ronson self diagnoses as a psychopath, and decides to find out more. From talking to high-powered businessmen, to discussing brain scans of psychopaths' brains with an experimental psychologist who has a psychopath's brain scan, this is a fascinating dive into the psychology of psychopathy.
Of course, it wouldn't be a Jon Ronson book if it didn't include Ronson's special brand of gonzo, self-deprecating humour, which ties the whole book together into a cohesive story that will keep you reading "just one more page" until the end.
The only reason I gave this book a rating of 9 and not a 10 is because I have also read Men Who Stare at Goats, which is even better.

I read this book based upon @Sarah 's review. I don't typically read books like this; I genuinely liked this book a lot. It was humorous, and I liked the very small sci-fi element with the AIs. It was kind of predictable, but it didn't make me enjoy it less. The AIs themselves had very amusing personalities, and I liked the contrast between Aiden and the psychopath AI. I really liked all of the characters as well.

This book was passed onto me by my mum who loved it, she read it in two days.
It took me a while to read it, and although I didn't dislike it, I didn't love it either.
I found the main character quite annoying, and to me the writing style was more like a fan fiction story than an actual book.
Also I thought the 'psychopath' was pretty tame, I didn't really find him threatening enough.
It's put me off reading more by this author.

So much potential. This story had the potential to be something different, chilling, memorable. Unfortunately, it was vaguely interesting. My attention swung between bored and engrossed, without the demanding need to know what happened next. My favorite chapters were those from Agnes' point of view; it was eerie to step into the mind of a psychopath. True, there was some gore, but nothing worse than Karin Slaughter has provided. Overall, I enjoyed Bad Karma, I just think it could have been so much more.

Gosh, what can I say? I just love Chris Carter's books and don't even have to read the back to know I'm going to enjoy it! Yet again Robert Hunter and his genius mind are faced with a deranged psychopath. This time however, as the crimes are committed all over the place, Robert and his partner are forced to team up with FBI, and as you can imagine both sides are not too pleased about it. Great,great book,cannot wait to read the next one.
