Интересно, но не без недостатков
Книга "Век криминалистики" действительно содержит множество интересных фактов и историй, однако местами она кажется перегруженной информацией. Хотя автор старается сделать материал доступным, некоторые главы читаются тяжело из-за обилия технических терминов и подробностей, которые могут отпугнуть неподготовленного читателя. Тем не менее, я нашел много увлекательных моментов, особенно в частях, посвященных судебной медицине и её развитию. Интересно, как автор связывает криминалистику с литературой и культурой, показывая, как писатели влияли на восприятие преступности. Однако, мне бы хотелось больше примеров из практики, а не только теоретических выкладок. В целом, книга стоит прочтения, но требует от читателя концентрации и интереса к теме.
