A review by avidreaderandgeekgirl
An Assassin in Utopia: The True Story of a Nineteenth-Century Sex Cult and a President's Murder by Susan Wels

informative fast-paced

1.25

   Well, this book covered lesser-known history, however, it felt like a very perfunctory and dry look at everything. It was emotionless for the most part. They also covered entirely too much information in a book that was too short. I think this book could easily have been another hundred pages long.

    Overall, it was not great, it didn’t draw me in or make me care about what I was reading. 

Narrator Rating: 2.0 stars

  The narrator was grating or annoying. However, they spoke too quickly and were extremely easy to zone out listening to, just too boring.
