it is unfortunate that John has done what he has done even with all these people trying to help him and support him in any way they can and he had a wife who loved him dearly. Terra deserved better, thank God she got away from that situation with John, every chapter gets interesting more and more to the point you don't want to stop listening I am going to watch the show on Netflix of dirty John now. I've always thought books are better than movies or shows but after I read the books I like to see the movies.

I loved this!

this was a tough one. to get through and not because of the subject matter. Maybe it's the 'salt remix' that is the problem? The storytelling was SO unnecessarily drawn out, parts of the story were repeated multiple times throughout multiple episodes, and there were WAY too many low-quality audio recordings. and phone calls played. It just did not need to be that excruciatingly detailed, there were SO many unnecessary details. We did not need to listen to every word of multiple-page letters, emails, and dialogue in order to fully grasp that this guy was evil.

And the story bothers me. I'm not one to victim-shame or judge a victim, but the storytelling made Deb sound just absolutely incapable of making good decisions. They also made the youngest daughter sound like a soft-spoken airhead who couldn't think about anything other than the walking dead and zombies. It completely took away from the things they went through. If I were this family I'd have been so angry being portrayed this way. This doesn't send the message that "this can happen to anyone." this sends the message that "this can happen if you're so gullible and vulnerable that you can't recognize GLARING red flags."


Very disappointing.


maybe it was the remix?
