Title: poor treatment of a compelling story
Product review: This book is a surprisingly dull and poorly written treatment of a compelling story. The author strains to make psychological insights and reconstruct events, repeating the same few bits of information over and over in an attempt to bolster his assertions. In one off-putting chapter he imagines 2 alternate scenarios that would have enabled the subjects to live in a way that is inappropriate for an ostensibly fact-based book.The prose style is inconsistent, pedestrian at best and leaden at times. The text is marred by spelling and grammatical errors that should have been corrected in copy editing. The organization of the book is poor and reinforces the impression that this is not a very well written or well thought out book. The author does not succeed in illuminating this tragic story with his mix of fact and guesswork.
