Growing up on the Navajo Indian Reservation, David Crow and his siblings idolized their dad. Tall, strong, smart, and brave, the self-taught Cherokee regaled his family with stories of his World War II feats. But as time passed, David discovered the other side of Thurston Crow, the ex-con with his own code of ethics that justified cruelty, violence, lies - even murder. A shrewd con artist with a genius IQ, Thurston intimidated David with beatings to coerce him into doing his criminal bidding. David's mom, too mentally ill to care for her children, couldn't protect him.

David is a great storyteller.

The author, David, has a gift for storytelling. Really appreciate the rich detail of his childhood experiences, even though at times they’re hard to hear. As he touches on in the book, he’s great at using dark humor to cover tough topics. Would definitely recommend, was entertained throughout.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 24
As the adopted son of two cult leaders, Benjamin Risha was raised to someday assume a place of leadership in the Tony and Susan Alamo Christian Foundation with the Bible, and his parents’ interpretation of it, as his guide. He believed the prophecies of his adoptive mother and father. However, when none of it happened, and the foundation slid from bucolic communal lifestyle to insufferable criminality that included absolute obedience to the Alamos, Benjamin knew he had to escape.

Good, but not great. Awesome Narration.
Reviewed: 12-02-23
This book was overall entertaining and certainly provided a new and interesting perspective on religious cult life- the viewpoint of a child who experienced the horrors through a lense of relative privilege. Despite that, he still experienced horrors most of us could never even dream of at the hands of very disturbed adults. It’s fortunate that he was blessed with a strong mind to be able to eventually see through the lifelong brainwashing. A good read, but not great because I feel the flow was a little off at times and some of the stories lacked richness of detail which left a lot of questions on the table. I’d say the same for the ending, just felt really abrupt. The book was released in 2021, yet the story ended in the 90’s. Would have been more interesting if there would have been a few more follow up details on Tony, the church, or anyone else from the story, that’s come up in the last 20+ years.
Narration cracked me up, love Tim’s voices. His Tony Alamo voice was hysterical and seriously one of the highlights of the book.

Such a funny episode. Laughed so hysterically at the weird little noise Jordan made while speaking about sexual gratification that I almost peed my pants.

Randy Kraft was highly intelligent, politically active, loyal to his friends, committed to his work - and the killer of 67 people - more than any other serial killer known. This book offers a glimpse into the dark mind of a living monster.

Boring, couldn’t get through it.
Reviewed: 06-18-23
This story sounded interesting initially but the way it’s told is boring and uncreative. Flow is a little weird too, jumps around too suddenly from character to character. Narrator isn’t my favorite either.
