I really did want to like this book ... And true to the rating, I found it OK. I didn't like it nor did I dislike it. I can appreciate the depth of her reporting and her skill in crafting a narrative that seemed more like a novel, replete with an interesting cast of characters, the treatment of whom Boo resists making heroes or villains out of. But in the end, it never grabbed me.
