Good listen

Great narration. Learned a ton. Very interesting. Full of facts without being too dense. Author did a great job painting a picture and revisiting concepts when needed.

Where’s the PDF????

Revisado: 03-25-25

I was very excited about this book. Unfortunately I was never provided access to the promised PDF of images for the artwork discussed in the book. I emailed the publisher, author and Audible. I received no response from any of them. I thought the audio version would be ok because of the promised PDF. Not very interesting when you have no access to pictures of the artwork being discussed.

Meh

Revisado: 03-11-25

I don’t understand why I had to endure all the rambling about this author’s love life. I thought the book would be about a murder. The coverage of the murder itself was shallow. In addition, what is the purpose of summarizing the entire case in the prologue?? Plenty of worthwhile books out there. No need to read this one.

Well researched

Revisado: 10-07-24

Very well researched and well-written book. Author gave the backstory of the killer, victims, law enforcement, media, and the other agencies involved in the case. Not political in any way. The author does spend about 5 minutes discussing the general atmosphere at Border Patrol toward immigrants and women, but this is very minor. Confused at the reviews that criticize the author for being too political? Are you folks that threatened by an honest reporting of the atmosphere at the US Border Patrol? My guess is that the author was implying that the pedestrian misogyny didn’t help coworkers identify some of the killer’s problematic behaviors (e.g hiring prostitutes). The author also mentions the connection between combat veterans and poor mental health outcomes-outcomes that include violence more so than other mental health disorders. Was that the political part that so infuriated you folks? Anyway, I enjoyed the book. Author did a great job discussing each victim with compassion and honesty.

Great read

Revisado: 10-03-24

F@&$ing LOVED this mf@&$ing book! Laughed out loud at several parts. I try to avoid any book read by its author, but the narration was absolutely brilliant. One of the few times an author’s narration made a book even better. The story is great too. I learned a lot and enjoyed myself while doing so.

Exactly what I was looking for

Revisado: 12-20-23

The book offers a nicely written, unbiased, and brief account of the history of this conflict. The narration can be a little too fast and monotone, but the content made it worth listening to. Confused that some could accuse the book as biased, when it merely offers facts without commentary or judgement. This is the least biased book I’ve read in this topic. Highly recommend!

Enjoyed, funny and light

Revisado: 10-12-23

This book starts slow, but I was loving it by chapter 6. Recommended reading for folks who can appreciate dark humor and an honest look at death and the American practices that surround it. Reads as a light, humorous memoir. Thankfully void of spiritual preaching or encyclopedic rundowns of cross-cultural death rituals.

I knew little about Garfield prior to reading. Really enjoyed the book. I loved the intertwined stories.

Great book

Revisado: 10-04-23

This is the kind of book I look for as a nonfiction reader. Wouldn’t have minded more details and more story. I loved the narration, but it is heavy-handed at times. I’m grateful they didn’t choose a Brit to narrate.

Interesting

Gives some interesting history of Ireland. Section on Civil War drags a bit. Heads up that narrator has a thick Irish accent.
