I quickly went to “dramatization” instead of facts and with that, I did enjoy this. It was fast paced and enjoyable. But it’s not written as fact but much more like fiction, if you want facts, I’m sure there’s a better book available.

I listened to the audio version.

As a non fiction it feels like there are plenty of times the author takes liberties and put thoughts and feelings in peoples head that I don’t know how he would know about. He’s a bit dramatic…

Couldn’t help to react when the author calls a man Judas for giving up Booth and later there’s also a mention of Jesus and Golgotha when someone gives Booth water… Booth was a racist ahole, he wasn’t Jesus. Author is clearly fascinated by his subject so he feels bias. There was a part in the epilogue as well when I was like, “Did I hear that right?”
