Savage Appetites: Four True Stories of Women, Crime,… de Rachel Monroe
I loved the first half of the book. The first two stories were engrossing and I could not put them Dow but I lost interest while reading the back half. Her writing is quite good but what she covered didn’t catch me. This book is about a 2.5 for me. That is all based on the first half.
This was such an amazing read. Not what I thought it was going to be at all, but I wasn't disappointed at all. The exact opposite happened actually. Her writing is amazing I was engaged the entire time, I couldn't put this book to everyone who is interested in true crime even just a little. I would pick up any of her books without hesitation.
Every true crime enthusiast should read this.
When I started to read this book, I felt a bit confused with how the author would jump from one person to another and back again but by the second chapter it got better.
When Monroe talked about the West Memphis Three, I teared up because there are problems and situations like this that have happened in the past and are still recurring even now where "suspects" are being railroaded simply because they look the part. Real killers stay on the loose because law enforcement officials refused to look any where else and they create more victims trying to survive the system.
When Columbine was mentioned it brought me back to the day I was sitting in class watching it. It was so many thing that I couldn't imagine happening at the time and now I fear it every day my child goes to school. There are people who glorify what the gunmen did that day. That truly scares me.
When Lee was mentioned at the beginning of the book about her Nutshells dioramas, it was like... wait someone has made these? And I need to see them. Lee was never the typical house wife, with her pushing the boundaries to make these for law enforcement officials? Brilliant.… (mais)
