Liked this piece best, the narrative was well-paced. I liked the narrator a lot, very calm and nice to listen to. I'll probably seek out more audiobooks narrated by him. One thing is that I am surprised that a historical anecdote of the "amuk" phenomenon was not included.

It’s an interesting story unfortunately told in a very uninteresting way.

Super quick read that was mostly just facts. I enjoyed it, but it wasn’t anything super special. Got it for free thru Amazon. I def wouldn’t pay for it!

Rampage was a little harder for me to read than the other stories in the Bloodlands collection—they're all stories about terrible people and acts, but the subject of this one was the "father of American mass murder," a man who, in 1949, walked outside and calmly shot 13 people because he thought some of his neighbors were gossiping about him.

Fiquei frustrada com esta história, que é considerada o primeiro caso de assassinato em massa nos Estados Unidos. Diante dos atos do criminoso, eu esperava um outra punição. Mas não se pode alterar a realidade, e não se pode dizer que ele não foi punido. Enfim, é sempre bom conhecer fatos históricos dos quais eu nunca tinha ouvido falar, mesmo sendo tão violento quanto este.

First case of a mass murderer. Unbelievable that he knew what he was doing and showed no remorse

It was an interesting analysis of the matter of modern mass murder, a sadly, all to relevant topic of modern life.

In 1949 Howard Unrah went on a “walk of death” taking the lives of 13 people in the space of 12 minutes and then going back to his apartment.
A shocking mass murder case. I would have liked more in-depth psychoanalysis, however, this may not be the series for that. The book was clear and concise.

Well written
This is a rather well written retelling of events that took place decades ago on September 6th. Typically I prefer a more victim and survivor based approach to writings such as this, but I do genuinely appreciate the ability to learn about Unrah's commitment into institutions and the course of events that took place with his requests for less strict accomodations.
