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.

A great twist (1 more)
Very gripping
Wow - loved it!!!
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.
  
Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez
Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez
2020 | Crime, Documentary
I have mixed feelings about this documentary, well, mostly, about Aaron Hernandez. The series was fairly well balanced until the end, when people began providing reasons to excuse his behavior.
1) There are plenty of people who are closeted that don't murder people...
and
2) There are also many football players that have the same brain condition... and they don't go out and murder people.

Dude was obviously a psychopath, and I feel bad for his family, but I have zero sympathy for him. The last ep totally just... ruined it for me.

But there is a lot to be said for brain injury and psychology
