Book Reviews of the The Woods
Customer Review: Main Story Sidetracked
Summary: 1 Stars
When reading this story I found the events in woods of the title took second place to the author's re-writing of the Duke rape case. Apparently the author didn't like how the case really worked out by showing up both a grasping local DA and the narrow minded arrogance of the Duke faculty. He decided to write how it "should" have turned out. In this version the rich white students at a New England college are guilty (of course). The underaged, unwed mother, crack prostitute testifies in court with voice more appropriate to Ruth Gader Ginsburg than an uneducated teenager. I gather the author wasn't about to attempt a ghetto accent and get people mad at him. The girl of course wins everyone over with the power of her story. I had to put the book down. It was just Coben indulging in his liberal fantasy.
