All American Murder: The Rise and Fall of Aaron Hernandez by James Patterson & Alec Abramovich, 388 pages
I don't think James Patterson has written many nonfiction books, but this is one of his latest true crime thrillers. I must say I found this book very haunting and made me almost sick to my stomach to read. Because it was a true story, it was very hard to take it all in that this really happened. I had heard the Aaron Hernandez story before and remembered some of the vague details. But, this book contained so many details, it is hard to believe what Aaron Hernandez was capable of and what crimes he committed and what he got away with. I knew he had murdered Odin Lloyd, his girlfriend's sister's boyfriend in Boston, but I had not known of the other two murders he committed. Aaron Hernandez hung himself in his jail cell, which has made everyone wonder if all his years of playing football had really done all that damage to his brain. This book contains color pictures and even a cross section of his brain. A fascinating read indeed!!
