Not what I expected

I’m a huge true crime fan and was disappointed with the books absolute exclusion of any information about the West Memphis case. I found it a little dry and repetitive. I did enjoy his sharing of experiences in jail. I didn’t like the organization of the book I felt it was all over the place and was missing a good flow. Echols is a good writer but I would have liked a more organized and developed book. I finished it and felt like it was lacking.

Life after death was a great read. It was shocking, sad and also inspirational in how he came throu

I loved getting to see from Damien's perspective. I had watched all the documentaries. I actually bought this book for someone else as I listened to this on Audible.com. It was read by the author and he does a great job. His story is moving and I would encourage anyone that is interested in this book to watch the documentaries. The way that these three kids were treated by the justice system is appalling and the fact that the state is not looking for who actually murdered the three little boys is disgusting. The case was completely mishandled by a bunch of backwards paranoid witch hunting folks. So sad in so many ways. But the book was Great and was well written. I highly recommend it.
