From the Publisher - Everyone knows the story of Jerry Sandusky, the serial pedophile, the Monster. But what if that story is wrong? What if the former Penn State football coach and founder of the Second Mile is an innocent man convicted in the midst of a moral panic fed by the sensationalistic media, police trawling, and memory-warping psychotherapy? The Most Hated Man in America reads like a true crime psychological thriller and is required reading for everyone from criminologists to sports fans.
I received an Advance Reader Copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Writing one is hard. REALLY HARD.
DO I think that the media sensationalized this? Yes. Do I think Joe Paterno knew about it? HELL, YES Do I believe in false memory syndrome? Maybe. Was Jerry Sandusky guilty? YES, YES, YES AND MORE YES. Do the victims deserve the money they are getting? Yes - how could an Ivy League school let this happen?
should you read this book? yes.
