Did not finish book. Stopped at 25%.
I thought it would be more horror/thriller. But I was very bored. Skipped to the end.

A memoir by Jim McCloskey - founder of Centurion Ministries, a non-profit focused on getting the wrongly convicted out of prison. Another great read on wrongful conviction and the criminal (in)justice system.

This is perfect for fans of Parks and Rec! I loved the lighthearted nature and enjoyed seeing all the behind-the-scene photos. I did feel a bit bored at times and wanted some more depth.

The nostalgia! Loved hearing about the stars and behind-the-scenes drama from my favorite Disney shows growing up. It was very informative but did feel a little too long at times.
