It’s amazing how some reviews are so prejudiced but don’t let ignorance stop you from reading a great book.

Without sharing any spoilers, the real point of this book is exposing the activism and activists (by name) who are interfering with certain cases in the family law courts of Minnesota . It’s an expose' of the lengths that some of the activists will go to to disrupt and change the trajectory of how family law is administered.
This book is driven by the emotional and political involvement of the authors, as they readily admit. The authors make no secret of their bias, and occasionally even characterize people they don’t like as “cowardly “, conniving and indifferent to the minor children. They make a strong case for their bias, but of course any reader not familiar with the case has to consider if there is more to know than is presented in this book.
As someone who knew nothing about these issues or this case beforehand, this book is a troubling look at how families can be torn apart by the agenda-driven behavior of adults who should be more concerned about the welfare of the children involved.
The narration by the authors is nothing but a flat-toned, slurred, rapid reading aloud. It is often hard to follow and sometimes hard to understand. Most of the names are hard to distinguish, and there are more and more names as the book continues. The narration is not up to professional standard, and not at all what I expect from an Audible book.
Intriguing story, but ...

Great plot line, dry reading

This isn't the authors fault -- unless they *insisted* on reading the book for whatever reason (why authors, why?!) I'm not saying the book is bad or the writing is bad. I'm saying this was terribly edited in audio format and shouldn't be available until these issues are fixed. If you're fine with the authors delivery and them repeating sentences over and over and over and over and over again, go for it.
