dark emotional informative medium-paced

Very readable and very impressive. I kind of devoured this book, to be honest. It reads like a true crime podcast, complete with cliffhangers and narrative interludes. I appreciated how frank Emerson is at the end regarding the nature of research and memory, and the distinction he draws between "knowing you've printed some factual errors and knowingly printing a factual error" (356). I've always been curious about Go Ask Alice as a piece of propaganda, though it was never part of my childhood, and I feel that this book fleshes out the story in a way that is both informative and interesting.
