The name Mel Ignatow did not ring a bell when someone mentioned this book and I thought the concept was interesting. However, after I got the book, I realized that the events in this book unfolded when I was a young teenager not far from where I grew up. The combination of the graphicness of the descriptions, the fact that this man has been released from jail, and lives in my parent's home town made me realize that I'd be happier not reading the book. While, the descriptions are graphic, they are not much more graphic than what appeared in the newspaper during the trials. The author is a reporter for the local paper and is generally very good.
