The only saving grace about this book was the subject matter.
I appreciate that the authors are experts in their field but there was no depth or life to this. I had a hard time.imaging any of the people talked about actually existed and felt bombarded with information but by the end no more knowledgeable than before I started. This was very clinical and unfortunately made a very interesting series of events feel very boring and mundane.

Read this in just over a day as for non fiction was gripping. I still don't know who "Jack" is although there was lots of theory's in the book. The one thing that is interesting though is the concept of "Jill" the ripper as everyone assumed it was a man and midwives were everywhere in London in 1888 so the mind boggles.....
