Waiting to Be Heard: A Memoir

Wow, this is a hard read. I somehow couldn't put it down. Even though I knew the outcome of the story thanks to the media, I was still riveted. I'm glad to have heard Amanda's story, but it's not for everyone. It discusses some horrible scenes and events that may be too graphic for some.

This book was okay. It wasn't bad but it wasn't great. I enjoyed it a lot in the beginning but after her arrest I felt like it became repetitive and much less reflective. I often found myself wishing she would just get to the point. I think had she waited to write this book, given herself more time to gain perspective, and waited until her legal issues were 100% over then it would've been more intriguing.
