BURN IT DOWN (Maureen Ryan) - October 19/23

 Man on man did I really not enjoy this. Some of the stories were pretty compelling but mostly the book is Ryan giving her opinion on the subject matter and I just didn't care at all. It's like, get over yourself already. And the whole last stretch, which reads more like a textbook for criminal reform, was almost impossibly dull and boring. (Also, I find it impossible to work up any interest in stories by anonymous people. Like, maybe they're lying or Ryan is just inventing them out of whole cloth.) Nah, not for me in the slightest. * out of ****
