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?

This book is full of Biographies of serial killers from many years ago to the time it was written. It was crazy but very interesting. I read it long ago and was very shocked with it. It's not your everyday novel. It's just a couple pages about some of the most infamous killers of all time. Some very old history in here. I wouldn't recommend it to everyone but I found it very interesting.

Interesting but I wish they had it in more of a narrative style with more detail, it reminded me of an internet top 10 list more than anything

I actually found this book at my school and I started reading and I thought it was totally fascinating. I reread many of the entries and one of the serial killers was born where I live and that was interesting/creepy. I would recommend it to anyone who likes these types of books.

Not sure how I felt about this yet - too much or not enough? Too many horrible things and horrible people to process, and yet very spare facts, so that in spite of numbers, I didn't get a real scope of the crimes and the victims. To give an idea, this is indeed an alphabetical list of 101 horrible people - some serial killers, some political criminals, some despotic rulers. Each entry is about 2 pages with a brief paragraph or so on the person, name, date of birth and death, often manner of death, upbringing, family background... and THEN a paragraph called "What did they do that was so wrong?" Well, that's some odd phrasing. When you've started your bio by saying the person is a Serial Killer, known as "Serial Killer" - it sounds kind of strange to then ask a question that sounds a little bit like "what's so bad about that?" Most interesting to me was that many entries ended with quotes or comments indicating the person's state of mind about their crimes: some felt they'd done nothing wrong and were heaven-bound, a few knew they had done horrible things and regretted them but felt powerless to stop themselves, some were stone-cold sociopaths with no remorse other than getting caught, and one of these notably went to the gas chamber with the last words "kiss my ass."
