101 People You Won't Meet in Heaven examines the twisted achievements of the most brutal and sadistic individuals the world has ever seen. Evildoers jostle for position, including the likes of Basil the Bulgar-slayer, Vlad the Impaler, Lizzie Borden, Heinrich Himmler, Pol Pot, Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, Nicolae Ceausescu, and Slobodan Milosevic. Many common threads appear, including brutalized childhoods, an unswerving will to power, and often the support, tacit or otherwise, of a legion of willing accomplices. There are many contrasts, too. Some are charismatic leaders with forceful personalities, while others acted alone and in secret, solitary narcissists, full of self-loathing and repressed desire.
For those who are fascinated by what makes men evil, violent, and monstrous, 101 People You Won't Meet in Heaven is an engrossing and honest examination of humankind's baser instincts.

Does each character sound different?
Yes, each character sounds different because each person did different crimes and there was different outcomes. some got killed or hanged, others are still alive or locked up.

I recently read this book about 101 murderers who won't make it to heaven, and I found it to be a great insight into the lives of these individuals. It's fascinating to learn about people who have committed such heinous crimes, and the book provides a unique perspective on them.

These were mostly serial killers and nutty dictators, though there were a few I hadn't heard of before. I thought it was awfully superficial and wished for suggestions for further reading, and there were a lot of typos. But it would appeal to the trivia-loving, bathroom-reading set.

The book is filled with twisted, sick people. Most of these killers I have noticed grew up in broken homes, and were abused and later turned to drugs or alcohol for escape.
Had these individuals grew up in stable households would they have lived a normal life?
