3.5 rounded up. I had to really motivate myself to read this, I got stuck about halfway through. The ending was much better than the first 75% of the book. It was interesting reading the story from the victims perspective, but I don't like that there's no clarity on what's real and what's fiction. I really liked that this book gave voice to victims and brought to light how weird it was that we all looked at The Defendant with more trust than the victims. Overall a good and important read.
