This was the first book of anthologies that I have finished and to be honest I almost skipped the last section of this book. Anthologies, short stories, essays, really any collection of works I struggle with reading and I have no doubt that I wouldn't have finished this if it was not an audio form. The narrators of this book did an excellent job and gave real emotion to these articles. I did really enjoy the different journalism styles, the different voices and all around the collection of articles. As I went further into the book, the crimes in question became more well-known and some point of views I have found I've heard before due to the over coverage of those cases. I was expecting cases throughout the book that were relativity new or even almost unheard of. Listening to some of the more well known cases and the articles covering them, it was a little difficult to not zone out or just end the book there. Again, I pushed through and I'm glad I can now say I have finished a book like this.
