Tears of Rage: From Grieving Father to Crusader for Justice: The Untold Story of the Adam Walsh Case by John Walsh

2.0

I wish I didn't read this book because I had always like John Walsh. I won't go into details but I will say he was very egotistical and arrogant throughout the book, and while I cannot begin to fathom the horror and pain he went through after his son was abducted and murdered, his description of his son as being perfect and better than other kids was unsettling. His description of his son being better dressed, better behaved and even going so far as to saying that doctors and nurses in the hospital fawned over his newborn was over the top. I still commend him for turning a tragedy into a positive by changing the way law enforcement deals with child abductions, and I applaud the work he has done with AMW in finding and putting away awful people who don't deserve to walk free. It was hard to get through the book but I am glad I read it only because I learned a lot about the way law enforcement used to deal with child abductions and how much has changed since Adam Walsh died.
