👏🤩👍.

Lily Gladstone.

This book was remarkably fascinating. I love picking up a book with no preamble… to find that I‘m hooked early on.

It‘s nonfiction

Multiple mysteries, coverups, murder.

I‘d read more.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

3.75⭐️ I really liked the book. I really liked the first two parts of the book, but am kinda ho-hum about the final part. I did a combo read with the audiobook and it very likely coloured how I felt about the book. Found it very interesting. #2024 #nonfiction #indigenious #truestory #truecrime

4/5 - This book was solid, but still had its weaknesses. It‘s not the author‘s fault, as she herself admits nearly all of Hoover‘s private documents were destroyed according to his will. Instead of getting an intimate look on what made Hoover tick, we got something like 36 hours that mostly described how he survived for so long in an appointed position.

I am embarrassed to say that I bought this book when it first came out and never got around to reading it until now, having viewed the film adaptation of this a week ago. What an incredible story! I actually preferred the way the book was set up, as it allowed me to better understand all the characters and the conspiracy itself. David Grann is a master storyteller, and has the ability to discuss history in a way that keeps the pages turning.

3⭐️/5⭐️

True crime. Interesting, sad story of Osage history. Beginning of FBI. Hard to keep my attention though as it went into a lot of details into side stories, such as investigators' lives.
