Mini Review: Empire of Pain by Patrick Radden Keefe
5*****
Well, this was worth the hype! Though it's far from uplifting and quite a dense, long read, it is written so well, I couldn't stop reading. I read Radden Keefe's previous, Say Nothing, which was impressive, but to me, Empire of Pain was even more compelling. He writes in a way that makes this disturbing nonfiction tale read like a shocking family saga. Fascinating, sad and educational, this is truly worthwhile! Easily one of the best books I've read this year!
