This was an entertaining enough book, but I was pretty shocked at how terrible the editing was at some points. On multiple occasions in the book, I found missing words or sections where a person was mentioned by last name without having ever been introduced. It also didn't seem like the authors had the opportunity to speak with many people who actually knew Aaron. It almost felt like a fleshed-out Wikipedia article instead of anything actually enlightening. However, it did provide a decent overview of the case.
