Under the Bridge: The True Story of the Murder of Reena Virk by Rebecca Godfrey

1.0

I read 155 pages of the book because it was on the free library shelf in my hotel room. The story is interesting, but the prose isn't very good. It comes off as highly stylized to the point of distraction.

I also thought her constant references to the kids' interest in hip hop came off as pretty racist. The kids like 2 Pac so they killed someone? I don't think so. It's like the stories on Columbine that blame it all on video games. It's lazy writing/research and its honestly kind of offensive.

I wish people would stop comparing books like this to In Cold Blood because Capote's book is perfect and this is far from it.
