Review: Escape from Jonestown (the Laurence Bouvard story)

Escape From Jonestown by Laurence Bouvard
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Great telling of a tragic story
This was a very well done series, although I listened to it all one go. I particularly liked the approach taken to tell the story: through the story (eyes/heart/words) of one of the (very few) survivors, supplemented with words from the others. These perspectives were balanced with those of a woman who lost two sisters in the tragedy. There is much that is so very disturbing in this story, but it is told in a way that was listenable, calmly and without hysterics. If you don't know the Jonestown story, it's worth a listen.

Note: these is another book with the same name, make sure you pick the right one.
