Pretty interesting but dragged at some parts. I didn't know much about this case, so I learned a lot! I do also like that they humanized the victims in this story.

I didn't know much about Patty Hearst before reading this; just the basics that she was kidnapped and allegedly joined her captors in their crimes. After reading Toobin's extensively researched book, I still can't say with any certainty whether I think Hearst is a victim or a criminal. I can say, though, that I was completely invested in this story from beginning to end.

I recommend this book to all who want to know more about Patty Hearst. Again, the justice system shows us two tiered justice. One for the poor. One for the rich. #NFNovember

Very much enjoying this audiobook. I remember the whole Patty Hearst kidnapping, but this is the definitive history. #NFNovember

Interesting, but maybe because this case has been a life long area of interest for me. Having visited San Simeon on multiple occasions, I‘ve always found the Hearst family fascinating; one of our earliest versions of American royalty. Toobin‘s book was well researched, well paced and told a balanced version of events. Nothing earth shattering or mind changing really, but a sold bit of nonfiction. Narration by Paul Michael was good.

I made it! Didn't think I was going to but I did. Thanks for the fun weekend and I can't wait until the next one! #mbcreadathon #MBCfrogsread13

I am driving a 16 foot truck from FL to WA to help my aunt move (she lives in WA but much of her stuff was in FL...). I‘m hoping we get to listen to the tagged audiobook today! She loves audiobooks, so it wasn‘t hard to figure out what we‘d do on our drive (once we were sick of carpool karaoke) - picture of TN!

american heiress,
we are never meeting in real life.

the weight of silence,
the secret of lost things,

drown(s)
the audacity of hope.
