5.0
The author is definitely personally invested in the material, which at times can overshadow his objectivism but also lends an earnest credibility to his work. He places his writing between Erik Larson (a favorite of mine known for his meticulous detail) and someone else I can’t remember for his ability to make nonfiction exciting and he’s right! This was almost impossible to put down and every section seemed to hold weirder news than the last. Now I need a book on the Satanic Panic.
Graphic: Suicide
Moderate: Drug abuse and Homophobia
