Title: One-Sided and Poorly Written
Product review: I really don't like a lot of editorializing in my true crime, and this one was full of it. The author attributes thoughts and feelings to the characters that can't possibly be known and the portrayal of the boys in this case is slanted. I don't mean that I think they're innocent and she disagrees with me; I mean the facts about the boys and the case are hardly presented while we get the back story of the victim's entire family tree. The book was also written very much with a good guy/bad guys mentality between the cops and the boys and that is simply annoying when you're trying to read non-fiction. I wish Mara Leveritt had written about this case.
