While this accurately describes the trial and it's proceeding, I found it overly repetitive. Countless chapters on the same topic, and general repetition of the same evidence. It was a bit mind numbing at times. The end of the book seemed rushed, and having watched the trial live as it happened I felt a lot was skimmed over in terms of the expert witness testimonies. The epilogue as well was weak, and hardly a satisfactory end. While I enjoyed Juan's insights at times, this really didn't shine any light on the case that I didn't already know. Perhaps if you weren't heavily invested in the subject when it was happening in 2013, then you'd have more to gain.
