I fully forgot that what I was reading was based on a true story, because everything about it felt like a movie. But even with the genre of […]

Dang that was crazy. At first I read this book as a completely fictitious account not at all inspired by a true story, but throughout most of it I was like wow the addition of the newspapers and “eyewitness” accounts really made it more realistic. But afterward I was like… well how much of that […]
