it told the story but not well

Revisado: 05-01-21

I knew about this case before I listened to the book and was quite disappointed with how poorly the book was written. Some things were repeated way too many times and there was no excitement in it whatsoever. The writer laid out the case in the fist chapter and beyond that nothing else was exposed in the rest of the book.
Now to the narration. The way the narrator would present female voices was either shrill or like they're the dumbest creatures ever. I'd suggest introducing female voices when narrating female characters otherwise your narrator will come across as a sexist a hole.

would've really like to listen to this book but

The narrator's slight but noticable speech impediment made me shudder. Also, she's too energetic to put it nicely.

unsatisfying ending

Revisado: 02-05-20

so what happened then? it desperately needs a satisfying ending, an update something. it was ok for an introduction to the case. I wouldn't mind more in depth info.

I never heard of this story but have of a similar that ended in death of one of the abused children. I was happy that it wasn't that story although this was equally horrific. No matter how terrible these stories are we owe it to the victims to power through and listen to what they've gone through. A victim of both emotional and physical abuse I got chocked up and a bit "triggered" but the more I read about other people's experiences the more I'm healing. Pulling these stories out of the shadow of shame and secrecy normalizes the need for help for those suffering from mental health issues and forces people to be more observant and reactionary.

had high hopes for the book

Revisado: 07-18-19

Got this book as a recommendation and was really looking forward to listening. I'm quite a bit disappointed. The writer skates on the surface too much, changes subject too often; at times it was a bit confusing and unclear what he was talking about. A lot of loose ends, so to say. Reads more like a sum of individual blog posts rather than a comprehensive book written by a journalist about a subject. Can say that I've read shorter and more in-depth articles, so quite disappointed with the book. The narrator was so slow and dull that I had to speed it up to be able to follow what he's saying. All in all, if you're not familiar with the subject it's an ok first read but if you already know more than the writer you'll be bored to tears.

this podcast and now the book have been and still are instrumental in me taking care of myself. if you're a woman that has copious amounts of self doubt listening to Karen and Georgia will teach you how to f**** politeness.

amazing journey

Revisado: 07-05-18

an amazing journey into the little to completely unknown history of LSD and other psychotropic substances. I wish more people would be curious enough to educate themselves on this topic.

A great start

an amazing book about how deep down the rabbit hole you can go. it saddens me that Michelle is not here to see the conclusion of the search she took part in.
