I'm glad to finally know why my Tacoma-raised dad is batshit and mean (spoiler: heavy metals), but I could've done with roughly 150 fewer pages devoted to describing real-life rape, torture, murder, and necrophilia in depth. A well-researched read that would be more groundbreaking if it were less obsessively lurid.
