There is not one character in this book to root for or care about, victim included. This is not entirely the authors fault, since he can only deal with the characters given to him, however this is so jumbled and mixed up that it has no flow to it at all. If you are interested in the Insane Clown Posse "Juggalos" and a bunch of kids and parents that are so messed up that you want to scream then read it, if not don't waste your time on this one, it was doomed from the start.
Helpful Score: 1
Boring and drawn out. Real true crime lovers should skip this one. Adrienne Reynolds is a lost child. Going back and forth from Mother to Step-Grandfather, Adrienne gets lost in the shuffle. Eager to fit in Adrienne makes friends with local misfits who accept her at first and then for no real reason decide to kill her. There is more then enough information on "Juggalo's", why?, I have no idea and the story drags on with endless, useless information. We never really find out what in Sarah and Gregory's lives made them turn into sadistic killers. I would have much rather found about about their background that what Juggalo's wear.
very good book
as usual phelps is one of the best true crime writers of today.
This was the first M. William Phelps book I have ever read. I didn't know his name, or the fact that he has his own show on the ID channel (Dark Minds). I simply plugged in "True Crime" into my library's search engine, and there he was.
That being said, I picked up the book and could not put it down. It was a very fast paced, heartbreaking story, that has you cheering for the victim until the very last page. I love the way Phelps criticizes and delves into the lives of every character of the story, to make you feel like you are along for the ride.
I have made it my mission to read every Phelps book I can get my hands on, and so far, he has not disappointed.
If you like True Crime Mysteries, without all the "Big courtroom jargon" I highly recommend, not only this book, but his others as well!
Thanks to this book, I have become a M. William Phelps Mega Fan!
