Lethal Marriage: The Unspeakable Crimes of Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka by Nick Pron
4.0
Saying I enjoyed this book is far from the truth; it was difficult to read, and one of the few books where I felt no guilt in skipping sections. And certainly there was a great deal of bias in its writing. Pron, staff writer for the Toronto Star, is a human being and couldn't have possibly avoided being biased. We all are. It's up to us how we read this book and take the information contained within.
This book is right in having a warning in the beginning. Most of the reporting on it should have had a warning. (That's one thing I'm glad a lot of news stories have now, especially if they're of this nature.) But I elected to read it, and as such, I can't fault it for its content. I knew what I was getting into, just not to what extent.
It was written well, and difficult to put down, if only because I was horrified the entire time (as should anyone who reads about this case, full stop).
