A Father's Story

So, I watched the Netflix series, and I had my opinions, however as a parent read this book written from a parents perspective. It’s an easy read (I read it in a couple of days) but, the content will stay with you a long time. I found myself feeling sorry for the dad at times, but this is not the intention of the author. He blames himself greatly for his son’s behaviour. Good debate for nature/nurture.

I got the updated version, with the extra chapter at the end about Jeff’s death.The whole book was a great read, his dad give you a good insight into Jeff’s history and a lot of details about why Jeff was possibly the way he was.Would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is interested in this type of thing.

Brilliant book to read even for those not particularly interested in the case. On a personal level this book has given me empathy and compassion towards Jeff and some understanding on why he did what he did. Obviously it can never be justified but I believe it should be known.Easy book to read, a real tradedgy for all involved. I hope Lionel and Shari's quality of life has improved.Thank you for sharing.

J'ai souhaité lire ce témoignage du père de Jeffrey Dahmer car après avoir vu la série sur Netflix et des témoignages TV de ce monsieur, je me suis intéressée à ce qu'il a ressenti après avoir appris ce que son fils a été capable de faire. Il s'est posé des questions, à essayé de comprendre, de se remettre en question et ne l'a pas "laissé tomber" malgré tout.Il est rare d'avoir ce genre de témoignage. Dommage que ce livre n'existe pas en français.

True fathers story. It does make me cry at some point, Because I’m a parent myself. I’m sure it wasn’t easy for him to accept that Jeffray was a killer for him he was his little boy .
