Good story, but the writing was a bit too choppy, Dragnet style, for me, and over the length of the book, it started feeling more like a list of facts than a book.
Really well-done true crime story. Bilton get is inside the heads of the key figures in the Silk Road story.
First time that I listened to a non-fiction audiobook. This was so well written that at times I had to remind myself that it's a true story and not a piece of fiction. This book was definitely riveting and I couldn't wait to listen to the next chapter.
