destinycon 's review for:

3.0

informative reflective medium-paced

This isn’t my typical read. However, I did thoroughly enjoy it. I enjoyed the look into collecting read books. I enjoyed Gilkey’s perspective and his thought process in stealing books. It made me question why I like collecting the books that I love or why I continue to buy books at bookstores even if I might not read it. Overall, this was a well-rounded very interesting, true crime book.
