Negative Positive
Title: Terrible....even for the true crime genre
Review: Ok, I will admit. I am one of "those people" who likes to read true crime stories on occasion. It is one of those guilty pleasures that I try to excuse through the pursuit of understanding regarding why people can be so evil. There are quite a few very good books on the subject like "In Cold Blood" and "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" (although some may not consider this true crime). However, "The Copeland Killings" is awful. The book is not well written grammatically, is fairly slow paced for such a short true crime book and is not even a good journalism story. Basically, Ray Copeland was a bad guy all along, so you never really get to the question, "What went wrong"? I bought this book for 50 cents at a garage sale to take hiking, and I recommend paying no more than I did for this read.
Is the review positive or negative?
