  • As a student studying Forensic Psychology, this book has truly enlightened me and provided me with valuable insights that I can apply in my studies. It has opened my eyes to the realities of everyday life, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone, particularly fellow psychology students. Your teacher will definitely appreciate your interest in this material.
  • The experiment itself is pretty intriguing, but man, the story gets hella repetitive. It's like they keep saying the exact same stuff over and over again, or sometimes with just a tiny twist.
  • This ain't no boring lecture where you gotta read a bunch of papers and write boring summaries. It's an audiobook, man! It's supposed to be captivating. But the narrator? Well, they read it like it's some mundane grocery store receipt.
  • As someone who is almost a psychology doctor, I believe that the knowledge shared in this book is crucial for everyone to understand, and the narrative is presented in a comprehensible manner. Given that, I would certainly suggest this book to others. However, the narrator's delivery lacks naturalness and sounds mechanical. While I was listening to it while cooking, my boyfriend mistook it for the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey from another room. I wouldn't go out of my way to find out who the narrator is, but their performance can be endured.
  • From the get-go, I was completely captivated by this book. It's an absolutely eye-opening exploration of human behavior and psychology, particularly in the context of distinguishing between goodness and wickedness.
  • They might as well rename this book "The Prison Effect" because it delves into an overwhelming amount of mundane specifics. Instead of presenting a concise summary and exploring the reasons behind people's descent into evil, it gets lost in the tedium of recounting every word exchanged between the guards and prisoners. If there was an explanation provided, it was overshadowed by the mind-numbing minutiae.
  • Although it can get a bit lengthy at times, "The Lucifer Effect: Understanding How Good People Turn Evil" offers a captivating viewpoint on the concepts of good and evil. It ultimately delivers a sense of liberation, empowerment, and even inspiration.
  • The initial 20 minutes were solid. However, once they delved into the Stanford Prison Experiment, it became unbearable. I believe a different title would have been more fitting for this book. Essentially, it felt like the entire book consisted of someone narrating a scientific study. What a complete waste of time.
