But I didn't like a few sections where the author dramatized or presented dramatized accounts only to later say 'except that's not how it happened' it felt cheap.
It also felt weirdly graphic in how it described Minor's pedophilic obsessions (not in the subjects own words but as the authors descriptions of young girls) and honestly I have no idea why an editor didn't ask him to change it
