I really enjoyed this book. Toobin did a fantastic job bringing together media accounts, court transcripts, interviews, personal accounts and anything else he could get his hands on. I was 13 when Patty was kidnapped. I remember seeing the 1st bank robbery footage on the 6:00 news. What I didn't remember was the social upheaval at the time, the hundreds of bombings that were happening, the general unrest. As I was comparing what I was reading to what is happening now, it was a real eye opener. Toobin did not insert his final conclusion, you get to have your own feelings about that. I very much enjoyed the background story to every major and minor player. That made it more than just an account of the facts. What was really fascinating was how many now famous people were part of the happenings, what Toobin didn't mention was the fact that Chris Hardwick (Talking Dead) is now married to Patty's daughter. I would strongly recommend this book.
