Query: Great Subject - Great Cover - BORING BOOK

This was like reading someone's college paper - it was as if the author was trying to meet a quantity requirement. WAY too much dry, statistical, historical detail. It made it very difficult to get through. The parts about the victim, her family, and the actual events were like an occassional oasis in a desert. It was very disappointing.
