Just kidding. I love Renner’s writing. He has a level of commitment to stories that is obsessive, as highlighted in True Crime Addict. Compared to True Crime Addict, this book is very concise and feels more like journalism; True Crime Addict weaves between his own personal story and the story of Maura Murray. Moreover, I’m from Akron and and his rust belt attitude and personality comes through in his writing — I hope Renner continues to write about stories set in this area of the county. Furthermore, this is probably projection, but I also sense an underlying feeling of contempt for the kids from Shaker Heights. Kids from that town in general. For some reason, I feel like Young could have been one of the weirdos drinking too much coffee, smoking too many cigarettes, behind the Nervous Dog in Wallhaven (the same neighborhood where Arabica’s Akron location once stood). The other individuals in this story feel like the privileged unapproachables from Shaker Heights we only knew of in high school. Regardless, everything about this case is a tragedy. I wish Young had the chance to read/listen to this book.
