ebonwilde 's review for:
[copy from booktasters in exchange for review]
without getting too much into it, this reads like something a high school student would write. i'm fairly certain i have a memoir assignment lying around somewhere with this exact writing style, word for word at some points.
everything about this book is extremely aggravating to read, from the tone to the sentence structure and word choice. considering that this is a 150 page book, there was no reason for me to trudge through this for four days.
however, considering the subject material, this might be a tad insensitive. so. here are some good things: it's emotionally gripping (for the first 10 pages or so before the most awkward writing in the world distracts you, and then afterwards solely because of the topic). it's informative (mostly in regards to understanding pearse's state of mind, otherwise it's basic information you can find on any anti sex crime website).
barely deserves 2.5 stars, but i'm adding +0.5. because. you know.
