Choppy, sometimes lyrically written, but mostly seemed more like a senior thesis that needed some more organizing and fleshing out.

Just meh. Basically just endless case studies of crimes of passion and the circumstances of each case. Interesting enough, but quite repetitive after a while. It was infuriating, however, to see how biased the courts have been towards men who kill their wives over the reverse. It's scary that even today there are still issues where men can get away with killing their wives while women get heavier penalties for killing their husbands.

This book had some interesting cases but I found it hard to get past the author's pretentiousness. Most of the cases were not well known and hardly any facts about the crimes were given. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone.
