David Grann is my favorite non-fiction writer. There is no doubt about it. He can create a narrative out of a non-fiction story that makes you think that you are reading fiction. There were several times while reading the book that I forgot that what I was reading was true! The story was compelling, horrifying, entertaining, enlightening, and so many others thiings.

David Grann really does his research. I feel confident that what I am reading is true based on everything that he does when preparing to write his books. I hope that he keeps writing like this because I will probably pick up every book that he writes.

As far as the book, it was heartbreaking and terrible. It was wild learning about the Osage murders. It was something that I had heard about, but I knew nothing about the details. It shows me that bad people and politicians and law enforcement has been around a long time; it’s not just starting today.
