Waiting to be Heard: A Memoir by Amanda Knox

I am usually not very interested in a lot of true crime stories and don't often follow high profile criminal cases. However, when Amanda Knox, 19 year old American student, was accused of killing her British roommate in Italy I remember paying attention. She was only two years older than me and the media said a lot of crazy things about the case and Knox herself. I have been fascinated by the case ever since, watched the tv movie and Netflix documentary, and now listened to Knox's memoir. I think the reason I am so interested is that even after she was convicted, imprisoned for four years in Italy, and then acquitted, I still can't decide if I think she did it or not. Her story has emphasized the ridiculousness that the media and the Italian court put her through, which I was already somewhat aware of, but there are still some things she says that don't add up to me and I have a hard time believing she was as naive as she portrays. But, it is not up to me to decide her fate and it was still very interesting to listen to her version of things.
