Eh. Not compelling or gripping. That's really all I can say.

Definitely a fun little ride. I was entertained and the twists were worth it. Hope there's a part 2 - I somehow felt compassion for all the characters, and would be curious to see what happens next.

I knew the moment I heard the first communication between Hanna and Gus that he wasn't alive anymore. Yes, I'm spoiling it for you; if you read the first book, it's so obvious. SAVE YOUR CREDIT.

Don't switch horses midstream: narrator wasn't bad but she wasn't as good as the one from the first book. This one didn't use a Swedish accent for Alex, and she couldn't pronounce the Swedish words, like "lilla gumman". She also kept referring to them as the "Jensens" - pronounced with a soft J - but in the first book there was an entire mention of the last name being pronounced "Yensen". WHY DIDN'T THIS NARRATOR EVEN LISTEN TO THE FIRST BOOK BEFORE HER ORATION IN THIS ONE?!!

TERRIBLE. Save your credit; I'm completely done with this author. Could've been SO much better.

A true story of forgiveness and redemption. Surviving childhood abuse, trauma, debt and homelessness, Scott aka Bill has written a solid, well-rounded non-fiction book that should appeal to anyone whose ever going to die. An excellent read, and one of the few remaining career paths that cannot be replicated by a computer or robot: too much need for compassion, empathy and respect amid rejection, traits which Bill indubitably possesses. Spend your credit - this one's worth it.

This is chapter after chapter of descriptions of pregnancy. Detailed, gruesome depictions of pregnancy.
No talk of benzos, just Ambien, which isn't a benzo. Stupid book, too much faux writing imitating a literary master or boho beatnik, but comes across as juvenile attempt at trying to sound hip. Don't bother. I'm going to exchange for my credit back.

Listen to John Glatt's Book Instead

Author states she has no business psychoanalyzing Chris Watts. Proceeds to spend the remainder of the book psychoanalyzing Chris. If ANYONE was a narcissist in their relationship, it's Shanann, who literally meets all the criteria, especially her need to force her husband to partake in countless social media videos for her own gain.

We tend never to victim-blame, but once a person is gone, it doesn't negate the fact that they were once here and also had traits that contribute to this horrific event. Nobody has discussed how Shannan may very likely have had Munchausens, and with the kids as sickly, MBy Proxy as well. We won't every know to what extent this may have appeared as the children grew. Regardless, this book is trash, and describes the events of that night incorrectly,.

This author even suggests "malignant narcissism" ,- a diagnosis that doesn't exist ANYWHERE in the DSM-V, yet is a construct of .... drum roll...Dr. Phil, TV's worst doctor who isn't a doctor, who is mentioned numerous times in this book.

Come on, now. Get the true account from John Glatt's book instead. Even though that, inexplicably, has a British narrator, it's a much more comprehensive book. It definitely doesn't say "I will not diagnose Chris" then spend the entirety of the book diagnosing Chris (incorrectly).

Great Info, Terrible Narration

I watched The Office from the very first episode when it first aired through the finale, and have watched it countless times, all the way through, since (skipping Scott's Tots.... which I thought was funny in the book, where I learned about how most people seem to feel this way). The info was stellar.... even though I listen to Brian's podcast, the Office Ladies podcast, have read Jenna and Angela's book and have watched virtually everything on YouTube there is to know about The Office, there were some insightful parts (like deducing from the interviews, clearly everyone thought working with James Spader was tedious at best).

The narration, however, was terrible. Only Angela and Craig sounded like they could pass for their real voices. This made it hard to distinguish who was talking, when. It's done similarly in Andy Greene's book, but it works there because they state their name each time, then make their comment. Here it's difficult to tell one voice from the next. Occasionally I could tell by vocal mannerisms, cadence and context when it was Steve, Rainn, Oscar, Creed, Meredith or Jenna (truly horrible Jenna voice), but overall it was a struggle. Probably better as a written book, which is sad because I love the voices of the actors - I'm used to hearing them for almost 2 decades in my home. Great book, Brian; needs better narration to stick the landing.

Stop with Cats and Get a Guard Dog

What a harrowing, traumatic experience!

Grateful they both survived and eventually thrived, though, having suffered through a rape myself, I can't even imagine the pain of facing the media spotlight and public scrutiny, nor the malicious intent of both the police and the FBI, like Denise and Aaron did. Not being believed, and suffering through so many revictimization traumas, is unimaginable.

May they enjoy peace with their 2 daughters, and I hope they consider getting a big female guard dog named Mrs. Rogers to protect their family and home in the future, so that nobody can break in 5 times eventually leading to committing a much more viciously heinous offense.


I think Andrea (Jennifer's real name) and her former-policeman husband have more to do with this crime than anybody knows at this point. Muller did not act alone.

Highly recommended book, as well as American Nightmare on Netflix, which thoroughly covers this horrific true crime.

I read some great reviews of this book so I checked Jenette's filmography and discography. I've never seem a single show that's she's been in. But her book was terrific. That's all I'll state because Jenette made it clear in her book that people who have time to write reviews don't have much going on in their lives. I do, so this is brief, but she deserves applause for her bravery in writing this.

Also thankful that I never heard of a stupid character who hits people with a sock full off butter. That sounds ridiculous.
