It started on such a high for me. I really thought it would be a 5-star easy. As we went from the survivor-hood of each of Maude's victims to the general spectacle of the case it dipped for me. It is at its best when the internalization of each man is explored and how they maneuver through relationships of those closest to them. When they are centered. Some of the survivors are given this, and others are not - the last two men. It was bold to use real celebrities and what they would say in an event like this. The sixth man, who was technically the first, and then Maude herself were extremely rushed and that lack of exploration in those chapters really dropped it for me to 4 stars. Maude's logic that she gave the press versus what she actually believes in and why she actually done it is fine, but there should have been more if she was to actually have a moment in the book instead of being the person who got away and exists as a phantom in the public consciousness and the minds of her victims. Still, the experimental approach to the physical and audio book was enough to still be great to me.
