American Heiress: The Wild Saga of the Kidnapping, Crimes and Trial of Patty Hearst by Jeffrey Toobin

4.0

American Heiress: The Wild Saga of the Kidnapping, Crimes, and Trial of Patty Hearst by Jeffrey Toobin is a pretty wild ride of a story. I chose to read this because I grew up pretty close to where this happened, although as it was happening I was way too young to know what was going on, but her name is one that I remember hearing a lot. I also know an FBI agent that worked on the case, so that piqued my interest even more. I found this book to be fascinating, but also quite long and sometimes the minute detail was confusing for me.
