The Idaho Four: An American Tragedy

This book basically repeats what we already know. Don't bother. Wait for the animal to get bored and start talking. He may not be able to make any money, but his family can. And from the looks of it, they will need it.

I regret buying this audiobook. I didn't learn anything new about the case. The information was presented in a disjointed way and often repeated the same information.

I thought this book was extremely well done because it focused a great deal on who Xana, Ethan, Maddie, and Kaylee were and how they are much more than simply victims- in learning about the lives they led we can better appreciate the significant loss their deaths result in but also what legacy they would want to live on. I know this book has gotten some questionable reviews because readers have thought there are tricky bits (like Emily's dream of what she believes happened/why Maddie became targeted,people apparently were confused that this was a dream. even as an audiobook listener, it was clear to me this was a dream/a thought of what possibly happened) but I think this was REALLY well done in that it took a terribly tragic event and helped humanize Kaylee, Maddie, Xana, and Ethan as well as their friends, family, and the future they were robbed of. Stacy Chapin has said it well but above anything else we really ought to remember the kids! keep their legacy alive!
