More like a *** 4.5 star *** book. A collection of interesting albeit slightly quirky stories that will get any reader of any age [perhaps 10 and up] thinking outside the box. In fact, I think this book is great for a parent-child reading experience as it's entertaining and wonderfully illustrated but most of all because it will invoke some really thought provoking discussions about families, people in general, social norms and other important topics. Good stuff.
True rating 3.5 stars. Although overall an excellent recounting of the horrendously biased investigation and trials of the West Memphis Three, this book suffers for reasons of poor organization and repetition. Frequently, the narrative jumps back and forth to cover "side stories" and often repeats itself in the process, and would have benefited from a better editing job and an alternate structure of delivery, particularly in the sections about the three young men and their pre-trial experiences. Definitely worth a read, but could have been a cleaner product and about 40 pages shorter if edited right. The factual aspects make it worth excusing the clumsy style - the author is very thorough.
