Hi guys.
So, I just recently finished reading I'll be Gone in the Dark by Michelle McNamara.
Now, this is a true crime book about the Golden State Killer, which was a person in California
who raped over 50 people and I think killed over 12 people.
It started off as burglar and escalated to attacking women, attacking couples, and killing
people.
So, I've been hearing a lot about this book and I've been wanting to read it for a long
time.
I"m not really a huge true crime reader.
I have read In Cold Blood and a couple of other ones, but I read those for a class,
not just because I wanted to.
Even though, In Cold Blood was pretty good.
Anyway.
So, there's been a lot of hype about this book.
I didn't know anything about the Golden State killer before reading this book.
I don't live in California.
I live in Connecticut so I'm all the way on the other side of the country.
I also heard, after reading this book, that this book helped catch the killer.
Now, whether or not that is true, I don't know.
Some people say yes.
Some people say no.
Michelle McNamara had a true crime blog.
My true crime diary or something like that.
She started to get into true crime because when she was a teenager somebody was killed
on her street, or around where she lived and it was never solved so she got interested
in it that way.
She died before this book was completed, which I think contributes to some of the problems
in this book.
I enjoyed this book.
I found the first half was very very quick and very interesting to read.
But then as soon as you hit the middle to about 2/3 into it, it gets very, very boring
and very hard to get through.
It's a lot of the same things over and over again.
There's no new information, and it never really comes to any type of conclusion, which I understand
because at the time this book was published they did not catch the Golden State Killer.
He has since been caught and is in jail and is awaiting trial and all that stuff.
It was disjointed in parts.
Some of this was written in present tense and past tense and the tenses tended to switch
mid sentence.
Also , who ever you were talking to.
Another thing that I thought was kind of odd for a true crime novel was that this seemed
half memoir and half a crime novel.
You learn, i would say, probably more about her own life than you did about the Golden
State killer.
But I think that there was too much of her own life in there for a true crime book.
I don't know if that's because she died before it was written and it was finished by her
husband, who is Patten Oswalt, and her research assistant.
So maybe in honor of her memory they made it interspersed with her own memoir-ish kind
of thing.
I have to say I gave this three stars on goodreads because of the fact that it gets extremely
boring and the further you get into it the less and less interesting it becomes.
I didn't even want to finish reading the ending, even though I did finish it.
And it was just very very hard to get through once you hit that halfway mark.
Also, I heard that they are making a HBO mini series or documentary out of this book or
something like that.
Some people say that this book is what helped finally catch the Golden State Killer.
And some people say no it is not.
So, if anybody else has read this book let me know what you think and I will see you
guys next time.
