This book is over 400 hundred pages long and let me tell you - you feel every single page of it. It really drags. It's difficult to relate to the characters and often the voices are so similar it's hard to determine who is "talking". 

I usually enjoy books of the true crime nature or thrillers but this one was a struggle for me complete. I found myself skimming pages and just hoping to get to the conclusion. This was NOT a book for me. Usually I DNF books such as these but I pushed myself and it took over month to read.
