I loved it, but the reviews are terrible. I didn't actually know it was a King story when I read it. Maybe that is the difference, I wasn't expecting something like his other writings.
ETA--so in reading more about it, I found out it was specifically written to be a companion to the mini-series (which was terrible.) I still loved the diary portion. here is the link
I think I mostly agree with you. There are plenty of things I find maddening about this topic that are all variations on oversimplification:
On that note, all the reverence for Hae is also bullshit. She was also a normal teenager, not a saint. That doesn’t make her murder any less tragic and certainly doesn’t mean she deserved it. Acknowledging her humanity isn’t disrespectful. These aren’t “characters,” they are people. This isn’t a story, this is life.
With all that being said, where you fall on this case is all about what information you choose to believe and what you choose to discard. You have to simplify to some extent, otherwise you'd never be able to come to a decision (exhibit A: me). I understand that. The problem is most people don't acknowledge that they are oversimplifying (although they really love to point it out when someone else is), and can't see that there are other ways to simplify.
I got this book yesterday at the book festival and I think it is a must-read for Serial subbers.
