Sample Book Insights:
#1 The fact that those who lived and worked with Shipman would have had a different perception of him while he was killing them makes it difficult to understand what went wrong. Try to put yourself in the place of Shipman’s contemporaries and relatives.
#2 The case of Harold Shipman is not one of those cases that are overzealous in analyzing the childhoods of killers and violent criminals. He was born in 1946, and his mother had a superiority complex. She controlled who he could play with and when, but she especially controlled how he dressed.
#3 The young man named Harold Shipman had a life as sheltered and limited interaction with his peers as possible, which is likely why he had little luck with romance. He nonetheless married a young woman named Primrose in 1966.
#4 Shipman’s time in medical school was similar to his later life. He was extremely determined to become a doctor, and he was just as reserved as he had been with his peers noticing the same tendency towards haughtiness and aloofness.
