Mehso-so

So the story is interesting. And I have heard a couple podcast deep dives of this story and I do find it very interesting. So sad this man (and his friends?) got a way with so much murder

The thing is. I couldn't get into the whole slang thing. I felt like it was way way too much! And the slang is different (same person, but different ways of saying the same thing.. ugh) .

I‘m trying to read this but it gets a little hard to get into because a lot of the dialogue is in this broken English slang (which has always bugged me) —- and the pup wants attention

So I‘m doing a contract in Houston right now (why I picked this true crime story to read) and wow. The chapter called “Murdertown” taking about the growth and corruption of Houston is intense! A bit scary too 😬
