This is a totally wild story, and I can see why it was made into a movie. Also having the author read the audiobook when he wasn't a trained narrator felt really authentic. Most interesting was probably seeing the views of the author who sat at so many intersecting communities.

The book started out very interesting, of course the entire premise of this story was fascinating from the get go, but in the end I was left unsatisfied. The pace of the book is quite fast, I have no idea why people are calling it slow, and some other tangents are spliced in with varying relevance. The one think I wanted to have seen was the reaction of the Klan to figuring out the man who they had wanted to take over the chapter was black, but ultimately this never happened. I get that it's a real story, but I would have figured somewhere along they way Ken and David Duke would have figured it out and maybe even commented publicly on the matter. It's an alright read, good for a quick book.
