Strange Piece of Paradise by Terri Jentz
Strange Piece of Paradise

francium, May 8, 2007

This book is riveting and well written. It transports the reader into the center of the maelstrom, both for the original incident and as well as during the authors' various excursions back to Oregon in an effort to solve this baffling mystery. It is a suggested read for those interested in true crime but also for those who are beguiled by how human beings interact and react; a treatise on 'why we do what we do' under such horrific circumstances. It does ramble a bit but that seems to be more of a reflection of the real world consequences of dealing with such a tragedy and its aftermath encountered at such a young, idealistic age.
