2.5
dark sad slow-paced

An 18 hour audiobook…. All of it felt horrifically long and dry. But also, I can’t get behind her sending him money and stamps all the time even after she acknowledges he did in fact kill all those women. She literally throws up in horror, but still writes to him and sends him stamps… come on girl… he murdered so many women and children. The author acts like she did it out of hope he still had humanity in him, but it’s kind of obvious it was actually to be able to add updates onto an already very long book. If it had stopped where it had originally did and didn’t have two hours added on for no reason I might have rated it higher. Idk. This was hard and a little cringy at times to get through. Parts were interesting, but nothing was linear either and it jumped back and forth so much.
