The Fact of a Body: A Murder and a Memoir | Alexandria Marzano-Lesnevich

Pickpick

This was a tough, complicated read about tough, complicated issues. The author firmly believes they are anti-death penalty, until they view a taped confession of a convicted child predator and murderer & immediately decide he should be sentenced to death. I‘ll admit that when it comes to capital punishment, I am much more stereotypically Texan than most other issues. But I also believe that it is used wrong and that, for most people…(continued)⬇️

Maggie4483 guilt is a much worse punishment. I went back and forth on whether Rickey Langley should be sentenced to death or life in prison. I‘m still undecided, and glad it wasn‘t my decision.
This was very well-written, although sometimes the non-linear timeline was confusing. I also could have done without the speculation on characters‘ thoughts and feelings…(one more⬇️)
11mo
Maggie4483 But the author‘s bravery in writing this (much of their feelings about Langley were influenced by their own traumatic childhood) makes it a worthwhile read. 11mo

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This book is VERY difficult. At its core, it‘s about the horrendous murder of 6-year-old Jeremy Guillory. If I‘ve lost you already, its understandable. While studying this crime, the author reflects on personal experiences, providing thoughtful perspective. She‘s tough, tender, thorough, and human. This about the intricacies of behavior and emotion, about abuse, about histories, and ultimately, the flawed US justice system.

Cinfhen This has been on my list FOREVER!!! Must get to in 2023!!!! 2y

Even though the subject matter was distressing (pedophilia, murder, sexual abuse of children), I couldn't stop listening. It is the author‘s personal story of her own wrestling with her past, emotionally bound up in surprising ways with a murderer on death row. The discussion of the history of her family and of the murder sheds light on the complexities of human behavior and how difficult it really is to discover the truth of one's own stories.

This was my first nonfiction November read & it set the bar high. Check the trigger warnings. The author weaves her personal story into the story of Ricky Langley who she finds out the law firm she is interning for is representing in his death penalty defense. Marzano-Lesnevich knows she is against the death penalty so why is this case so hard? It was raw. It was real. I thought both stories were told without overlooking details in either. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This one resonated with me on so many levels. I‘ve struggled with my mixed emotions of the man that was my step-grandfather, the man who abused me the way so many in this book were abused. Alex felt like she was speaking both to me and for me, my own thoughts often articulated on the pages. I will cherish this book for the rest of my life. It has made me feel seen and like I‘m not alone. One of the most powerful stories I have ever read. ❤️

AmyG I thought this was an excellent book. I am from the same county as she in NJ and probably have driven past her childhood home many many times. 3y

This one is hitting me hard. My own personal life experience makes this a much more emotional read than I think it would have been otherwise. I‘ve had to substitute another book for my “take to work read” so I don‘t break down while on the clock. Not sure I‘ll be able to finish this as quickly as I thought. Still, I feel it‘s already having a very cathartic effect on me and I‘m glad it came into my life despite the resurgence of dark memories.

wanderinglynn This sounds interesting. As a lawyer, I totally agree that truth is complicated and often colored by our own experiences and perspectives. And in that sense and despite best efforts, justice is never really blind. 3y

Struggled to get through this one and was sometimes unsettled by the writing style. She is is definitely blunt and does not hold back on details.

I struggled to find the meaning behind this true crime / memoir combo. I wanted to love this but i felt like the author was slightly exploiting the story of the murder of 6 year old Jeremy. I mean I hope the author was able to find peace and healing from writing this book. It just wasn't for me.

Ruthiella I came away with a similar feeling about the author and her appropriation of the story of the little boy and his murderer. It made me uncomfortable. 3y
LoverOfLearning @Ruthiella yeah glad you agree. Especially how the story ended with her meeting the offender. Like she was then at peace or officially starting her journey of healing. Yeah uncomfortable is a good word. 3y
Penny_LiteraryHoarders I agree with your thoughts on this one. She should have stuck to one story. Not try to mash together two. It didn‘t make sense / work for me. 3y

Definitely do not like this cover! Reminds me of a high school textbook. I also accidently bought the large print version.

So my motivation to pick up this book after I put it down is LOW. But I am enjoying the story inside. I'm about 50% done with it!

This book splits between a true crime narrative and the authors personal memoir and how both stories end up colliding.
Definitely has *trigger warnings*.

violabrain This book was excellent, but I agree with you about that cover! 3y

Yay! I got a second bingo on my #bookspinbingo board 🙂

I found this book on sale at a random bookstore so I decided to take a chance. It is REALLY well written but very disturbing in places.

I thought this book was really great but might be tough for you if you struggle in reading about sexual abuse. The author does a great job covering a defendants story while connecting it to her own experience.

Read this one a few months ago and still not sure why I didn't like it more. Part memoir and part true-crime story based on a case of a suspected child killer/ rapist the author encounters as a young defense attorney. The parts where she tries to empathize with the defendant while still reconciling the trauma of her own history of sexual abuse survival are very well-done. I just wish it was all memoir and less true-crime 👇

This was more complex than I was expecting, it covered more ground than most true crime books I‘ve read. It tells the story of a murder (a disturbing and upsetting one) But also discusses how we relate to the justice system, what it means to be for or against the death-penalty, and how we talk about our lives more than we realised that we talk about the justice system. Disturbing and difficult to read in a lot of places, this made me think a lot

Morning all 😊
A less beautiful reading spot today, I‘m exiled from our room again so Matt can work and reading this brilliant if unusually structured true crime book with my coffee. I wish I could spend every day buying coffee and pastries at gorgeous coffee shops but alas, budgeting struck and it‘s instant coffee in the flat today.

Billypar I'm reading this now too- I've got the audiobook. I'm not usually a true crime reader, especially when there's a lot of reconstructed dialogue, but I'm intrigued by the connection to the author's story. 4y

It took a bit at the start to get “into it”, as I couldn‘t figure out where the two stories intersected, or why she went back and forth between the two. It‘s a good thing she started each chapter with a place and year, as she did jump around quite a bit between time periods in both her and Ricky‘s lives. It took me a while to get interested in her own story, particularly, but it did get more interesting as the book went on.

Ruthiella I agree. The mix of memoir and true crime here didn‘t quite work for me either. 5y

The subject of this book is not for everyone, it talks about pedophilia and the murder of a six-year-old boy.
I really appreciated the author's testimony of her own abuse, and her want to understand what push some people to commit such a crime.
However, this book can be quite frustrating to read because it doesn't give any answers, probably because there is no real answer. But I also found it repetitive and lingering at times.

Two heartbreaking stories that center around sexual abuse are told simultaneously and are interwoven. When the author alternated chapters about her life and Jeremy‘s murder, I felt the side by side stories flowed. When the sentences went back and forth between her experiences and those of Jeremy and Ricky, the story lost its power for me and became awkward. It is an interesting way to combine the author‘s life with a tragic murder.

Caffeinated_Reader Meh. It‘s hard to criticize this book without making the authors memories and tragedies come across as being criticized as well. I just have to say I don‘t understand why she was obsessed with the Jeremy case. Why she had to tie herself to that case. I don‘t agree with the in your face way she told her own story. She was very in your face about her own abuse at times repetitive and vulgar but those things tend to be ugly and hard to look at. 5y
Caffeinated_Reader I think everyone is allowed to process their trauma however they see fit and I hope she found peace or whatever she was looking for when writing this book. I didn‘t get a sense of understanding that I was hoping for once I finished it. I, as a reader, was left confused and still wondering why she chose Ricky/Jeremy to compare and contrast with. I felt sad for her and heartbroken for the little girl she was. I just don‘t think this book did what 5y
Caffeinated_Reader It was expected to do for her readers. It didn‘t for me. I give this book 2.5 stars and don‘t recommend it at all. 5y

I can‘t quite put my finger on why this book fell flat for me. The idea is good—exploring your own painful past via a parallel story—And I love the way she writes. The topic is disturbing—child sexual assault and murder—but I read a lot of crime. Maybe the structure? It just never quite jelled for me.

Yet another book about child molestation and its impact on the rest of a child‘s life. Marzano feels a connection between her own youth, that of phedophile and murderer Ricky Langley and the mother of the child he killed, which led to his conviction. She wants to understand what has driven them to be able to deal with her own past.
