An excellent premise and compelling characters kept me reading and admittedly excited about the story. Ultimately, though, the book could have been 200 pages shorter without diminishing it in the slightest and that kept me from really enjoying it, as much as I wanted to.
A well-written memoir and a story worth telling. I struggled to enjoy the book as much as I felt it deserved, especially for the first 100 pages or so, where I wished Walls had constructed the book more as a novel and less as a memoir (although it certainly is closer to a novel than most memoirs).
Absolutely captivating from beginning to end. A well-crafted and well-researched story of a murder that simultaneously introduces readers to the history of the troubles and some of its most infamous characters.
