An interesting book with lots of fascinating, behind-the-scenes details. Very quick read. Unfortunately, in my opinion, Babyak's determination to portray the escapees (especially the Anglins) as loud-mouthed idiots made the book less enjoyable. I don't understand why she held that view even after they managed to carry out the escape without anyone significant ever knowing what they were up to.
I also thought the prisoners' imagined conversations were a bit too vulgar and could've definitely been left out.
Speaking of the conversations, Babyak's attempt at writing Southern dialects was unintentionally hilarious to me.
