Watch Mommy Die by Michael Benson
3.0
Not sure how I feel about this book. There were some really weird things going on.
Page 45 states that Penny watched Stephen choke her mom to death yet the back of the book states that Stephen slashed Penny's mom's throat.
Page 175 states that he bound her but really only talks about her hands and wrists but then all of a sudden her feet are bound together now too.
Page 190 "were his next-door neighbors. That was no exaggeration, either. Crenshaw and his wife shared a fence with him...." isn't that what a next-door neighbor is?
Page 198 "Bystandards - the audience - were allowed to suggest what parts should be examined next." WHAT? in jail they had an audience vying for watching him get examined?
Page 204 "And Braswell knew what he was talking about." Duh, he should if he is a psychologist.
Page 301 "The last prisoner to go out crackling and smoking..."
I am sure there are more weird things but this is what I remember and kept track of. The book itself was very informative but these weird things really made the author lack credibility on what he was writing. Sometimes it read like someone else was writing or he was trying to inject humor at very inappropriate times. Hard to keep in the moment when some of these things popped in.
I would read another book by this author to see if this is his style or not and if it is, I probably wouldn't read more.
