The writing incredibly detailed & I can respect the work that went into researching & writing. However, even for a serious subject, I found it very monotonous. Unfortunately, it seemed to drag on. I wanted to like it more than I did. You could probably skip it for the documentary.

Very in-depth look into this case (along with glances into connected or similar cases) and the issues of the legal system. It also emphasizes the importance of the discovery of DNA evidence. Reads allot like a true crime documentary and draws you in frequently. That being said, some of the language is outdated in regards to mental health and race (can't really fault the author too much - it was 2006) and a little too much god talk for my liking. Bottom line, you're a true crime fan this is a must read despite my minor complaints.
