So interesting...

The end of the book however, yields some thought provoking insights about his health, genetic make up, organic brain issues, as well as a strange biochemical condition. Makes his overall condition much more interesting.
Thought provoking

excellent

I couldn't have been more wrong. narrated by the excellent as always Kevin Pierce, the misbegotten son takes on the challenge of telling the story of one of the worst serial killers the Empire State has ever known.
I especially enjoyed how so many big players in the story of the Genesee river killer got to say their piece. with so many rotating characters, success, narratives, and directions, it would've been easy to get lost in the shuffle, but Jack Olsen managed to be clear, concise,vs sensitive, and powerful.
I found out a lot about this brutal series of killings, and enjoyed the scientific theories behind why shawcross became the killer he was.
equal parts charming, gruesome, and yes, sad. sad for everyone involved, even shawcross to some extent. it kept my attention. if you like true crime books, then this one is a steal.
the serial just I never knew

What made the experience of listening to The Misbegotten Son the most enjoyable?
The narration was impeccable.Who was your favorite character and why?
The mother of the little boy Jack. She was a force of nature.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I felt totally betrayed as a listener when I was suddenly forced to listen to the psychiatric report. Painful. I almost did not finish the book. I would never have dreamed in a million years someone could lay out a West Virginian for full display, but I have family there and it is on full volume here. Hilarious!Any additional comments?
Onto reading the next Jack Olsen book. Consider me a fan.Stayed up all night to finish it.

My thoughts on this book...

going to be good. It was great! Well written with a lot of informational facts. The Narrator did a really good job.
The only thing I wasn't keen on was the different voices he used. This was not a turnoff but a little distracting (for me).
Jack Olsen is an author I will follow. I looked forward to listening to more of his titles but I wasn't too sure of the narrator. Olsen's other books are read by the same Kevin Pierce.
A disappointment but I sampled a few other titles and Piece sounds perfect.
So I will be listening to as many as I find.
If you can stomach true crime you'll love the Misbegotten Son.
Awesome writing!
