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

3.0

I definitely liked this more than you would think a three star rating would mean. I had heard about Patty Hearst but I sincerely did not know much, if anything, about the whole "wild saga". Toobin's writing was well researched, but pretty dry and clinical (I think this is really because Patty Hearst refused to participate in this project). All that being said - Toobin definitely, definitely, definitely had a very strong point of view that Hearst got off so easily and that all her claims of being in fear were a load of bunk. And since it is just Patty's story against the story of like 6 other people - I really think that Toobin's belief is correct.
