An out of practice reader discussing the books I get around to reading.
I'll Be Gone Book Club Questions
These are the questions I came up with at Book Club this last week. Feel free to use them for your own.
1: Why do you think McNamara blended her story with that of the GSK? How does her story parallel?
2: What genre would you classify this book as: Memoir or True Crime?
3: The book gained high publicity due to McNamara's death and the arrest of the GSK. How do you feel the book holds up to the hype?
4: Traditionally, true crime is told chronologically. This one is not. Why do you think McNamara made this choice? What effect does it have on the narrative?
5: McNamara mentions obsession frequently during the book and draws comparisons between her obsessions and the killer's. Why do you think she does this?
6: The true crime community has been criticized for glorifying the killers and forgetting the victims. How do you think McNamara handles this scenario?
