Title: I've read much better
Review: I didn't care for the way that each chapter was written about the thoughts of each family member, except for the murderous son. We never hear much from him. Enjoyed the beginning, then I kept skipping pages waiting to read about what really happened. The family didn't seem bothered that their son had killed a girl, rather that he may go to jail. The mother was the only one who showed some concern for the girl's parents. The book could have gone into more detail about the trial, but most of the book was about the father's thoughts. Don't recommend it. When I saw Merryl Streep was in the movie version, I know the movie must be pretty slow moving, as are all of Merryl's movies.
