4.0
This book was good. It didn't have the structural strength of Killers of the Flower Moon, but it was still extremely well written and interesting. Grann does a great job of tying the historical events he's writing about into the bigger picture, and I would love to pick something of his up again.
This book contains disturbing cruelty against people and animals.
Unrelated, I think it's ridiculous that I picked up Killers of the Flower Moon and then learned that it was being made into a movie with Leo DiCaprio, and then I picked up this book only to learn it, also, is being made into a movie with Leo DiCaprio. What's up with that?
Four stars have been awarded for Byron, who was really trying his best. One star has been removed and eaten by the other stars.
Total Score: 4/5 stars
