growing up in the Patty Hearst Era I found this fascinating. I think it was fairly written and gave me insight into the entire affair. Some of it was boring and I needed to skim but worth the time reading it. Patty was an extremely unlikeable person and I dont think the book in any way glorified her or her actions. Sadly she was pardoned for her crimes due to her family money and politics and lived her life in comfort and wealth.
