Pastels and Pedophiles -- by Mia Bloom and Sophia Moskalenko

 

It had a format problem, and there were too many printing problems to ignore. Only a small number of editing errors showed themselves. It waited until the last four pages in the summary to connect the dots, but I'm glad I held on and read it through.

It was informative, but not perfect. No book is, but this one waited a long time in its 196 content pages to take off and fly. Pastels and Pedophiles tried very hard to be academic but placed its notes in the rear rather than down below each page. I found that bothersome, and obstructive to comprehension. P&P was a very good idea, but probably a bit rushed. It could've been better. The last four pages elevated it four stars from the three it cruised with for quite a while.

My depressed frame of mind might not have been the best for reading. There were two deaths in the family, recently.

Several pages suffered a bit from extra ink in grids. Distracting. Not good, but not totally a disaster, either.

Your friends only slightly interested in Q Anon could skip the majority of the content, and just read those last four conclusion pages.

I'm glad I read it. I was personally motivated to research this topic. I will probably recommend those last four pages to some close to me. They can read the rest if they like. I marked nine pages for personal reference.
