Book Review of Defending Jacob

Defending Jacob
reviewed on + 58 more book reviews


If you have the time to read any book, let it be this one. This is one of the best books I have read in a long time. One of those books that no matter how bad you want to, you just can't put it down. Unfortunately, the first copy I ordered had water damage and I wasn't able to use it so I ordered another copy off of Amazon in like new condition. Boy am I glad I did! This book made me absolutely love William Landay and I am definitely going to be looking for another book of his. The way this book is written, you are given everything right at the beginning unlike other books that make you think its everyone else but then its the character you never expected. I like that we have to decide between Patz and Jacob and determine the entire time whether or not Jacob is innocent and what is going to happen as a result of the trial. The trial ending is very unexpected. It's a great book with a pretty good ending, albeit a bit sad. You will enjoy it, so take my advice and read it. By the way, Happy New Year! As of today, there is only one copy available here on PBSWAP so the first one to get it is going to be the luckiest one! Grab it now!
