A review by persey
Compulsion by Meyer Levin

3.0

Straightforward and entertaining retelling of the Leopold and Loeb murder case, somewhat overwrought in tone and would have benefited from being shorter. I didn't care for the disclaimer that the first person narrator who witnessed the events stated upfront that he would invent dialogue and interactions to cover situations he couldn't have known; the attempt to have it both ways with both first and third person narrator seemed like cheating to me. Pick one and work within that limitation.
