Martin Bryant murdered 35 people and injured 37 during the Port Arthur massacre in Tasmania in 1996, a crime for which he is serving 35 life sentences in Hobart.

It is easy to brows through the reviews, and evaluate for yourself  or gain some interest and knowledge about a book. I wouldn't read Born or Bred? but it is interesting to read what it is about and the research involved. One reviewer went into great detail and effort to explain the books intent. 
'There were also aspects of the book that I found less than satisfactory, but it certainly never felt like the reader was being pulled into voyeuristic territory. But, if we're to understand why it is that somebody can turn to the incomprehensible, then, as hard and as uncomfortable and as confronting as books like this are, as lacking in a definitive concrete answer, the book was informative, if only for the reason that it spelt out how inexplicable human actions can be.' — review by user austcrimefiction.
