Type of read: Commuter Read.

What made me pick it up: I think I found 'Among the Bros' on a list of top true crime books or new true crime or something similar.

Overall rating: Nonfiction books like 'Among the Bros' always amaze me because, by comparison, I live a completely sheltered and boring life. I always have a hard time rating nonfiction books because I'm usually just happy to have learned something and for the author to have shared their experience or the information they gathered and were passionate about sharing. I don't know if enjoy is the right word, but I did like 'Among the Bros,' it was an interesting look at something - organized crime within the university systems - that I honestly never knew ran so deep. If I were to suggest 'Among the Bros,' I would suggest a printed version. There are a lot of quotes and clips from various individuals, and it is incredibly hard to keep everyone straight.

Especially when you get into the sections where they are talking about the undercover work and codenames.

Reader's Note:   'Among the Bros' includes themes of drug use, distribution, possession, violence, and abuse; sexual harassment and assault including the use of date rape drugs; sex; murder; general violence; use of racial slurs; violent hazing rituals; bullying; and death.
