Currently reading Noose: True Stories of Australians Who Died at the Gallows, which I only picked up to check off a square in a reading challenge and am not finding particularly engaging.

Oh, from looking it up it sounds pretty interesting - it's a bummer that it's not engaging !

It might just be that true crime isn't a genre I'm into in general, but I feel like it's lacking a theme or a viewpoint - I'm not getting any sense of why the author thinks these particular stories are interesting and worth sharing.

Ahh, I see ! I can definitely understand how that would make the book not feel as engaging as it could be.
