by Chris Hansen

Yes, I love TCaP.  I love it so much I had to read this book.  Yes, it’s crazy exploitative, but, they are CHILD MOLESTERS, so I don’t care.  Actually it’s probably because I love the show so much that I don’t care.  Does that make me bad?  Maybe, but at least I am no CHILD MOLESTER.

I thought this book would be awful and cheesy–something written just to capitalize on the popularity of the show.  But it’s actually kind of well researched and written.  A lot of it is not about the show at all.  And, shockingly for a Dateline themed book, it points out that the Internet has made this kind of crime drop.  Wow.  Chris Hansen is like, a real journalist.  Crazy.
