engaging 4.50

The book delves into three major scandals at USC, revealing a web of corruption and cover-ups that extended to the city of LA. The narrative is gripping and well-written, making it a must-read for fans of true crime and investigative journalism.

This book takes us deep into three major scandals that happened at USC. Scandals that the college did their very best to try to keep hidden through coverups and corruptions, but also through coverups with the city of LA, spotlighting just how broken that system is. It is both eye-opening and appalling and I give such credit to Paul and his team for not backing down with all the roadblocks they constantly faced in getting this published. It’s amazing how many people did not want this story to be published! This book, which I will say reads a bit like a thriller at times, gripped me from the get-go. Between the shocking events that happened to the complex investigating that went into exposing everyone and everything, I was glued to the pages and found myself reading this book in just a day. It is incredibly well-written and I was completely engaged. I highly recommend this to all true crime or investigative journalism readers.
