Gitchie Girl: The Survivor's Inside Story of the Mass Murders that Shocked the Heartland
by Phil Hamman, Sandy Hamman
dark
informative
fast-paced
I have been wanting to read this book for a long time. I had heard great things about it, so I finally found it on sale and picked it up. I wish that I would not have spent the four dollars on this book. I was thoroughly disappointed in it. It is fairly short, and I read it over a couple of days while waiting in the school pick up line. It features the bizarre murder of four teenage boys, who, along with one girl, went to Gitchie Manitou State Park to hang out around a campfire. Three men appeared to stalk them for some amount of time, pretended to be police doing a drug bust, and wound up killing them. The girl was taken by the men, raped, and then dropped off back home. The book started off to be very interesting, and the story itself was weird. I learned more from Googling news articles and reading about it than I did from the book. The writers of the books seemed to want to tell the story in a way that they felt would make it interesting, but it really did a disservice to the actual events and the story of the surviving girl.
