I literally threw the book away after 25 pages. The story could be recounted in a different way, but the author presents the story in almost an "I was there" approach which makes you feel like you're reading white trash writing about white trash. The foul language used by the author was totally unnecessary and didn't help the story in any way. I guess I was the only one who was reading the story to understand the psychology of the people involved, rather than read a shock-crime book.
