madison_garrett 's review for:
I found this book to be incredibly informative. As a Midwesterner myself, I had no idea the level of influence the KKK had on the region. I appreciate Timothy Egan’s level of/attention to detail concerning the permeation of the KKK in Indiana. The whole story (as much as reasonably fit into the book) needed to be told.
The book is divided into three main sections. Without going into detail, the first section has to set the stage for the latter two. At times I found this section to be repetitive. However, despite feeling as though I was reading the same few sentences every couple chapters, I recognize the necessity of having these details mentioned.
Overall, I couldn’t put this book down and I’d recommend to everyone. Like myself, you may find your assumptions about the KKK to be slightly off reality - it was so much larger, so much closer to home, and had a much tighter grip on society than I was prepared for.
