Book Reviews of Every Secret Thing

Book Review: A riveting story, well-told.
Summary: 5 Stars

I'm only 28, not old enough to have been reading newspapers when Patricia Hearst was kidnapped. So I can't really say whether this book answers all the questions that may be out there about what really happened.

What I can say is that the book offers a detailed, well written, fascinating account of the events, starting with the days before the kidnapping and ending when Hearst was granted clemency. I checked out the book after having seen the film starring Natasha Richardson (which I would also recommend), and I wasn't disappointed. It kept me up late reading past my bedtime many times. Not only is the book riveting, but it also offers what I thought was a compelling argument that Hearst and her ordeal were grossly mischaracterized and exploited by federal prosecutors and others.
