Was thinking about picking up this book but I have not listened to Serial. Do you need to listen to it prior to reading?

Haven't read that but listened to Serial. It is well put together and worth a listen in a way that I think wouldn't work as well in a book. They have original audio from interviews and things like that.

The Serial podcast essentially consists of some kid murdering a girl and a liberal woman and the kid's family trying their hardest to cobble together a story about how he somehow didn't do it and the best explanation she can come up with at the end is that the crime was instead committed by a SERIAL killer
It's a solid ride, but at the end you are just left with nothing, there are no new revelations, no resolutions of any kind, just a feeling of slight confusion and contempt for everyone involved
Also the woman is sort of appalling as a person and a bad reporter since she straight up starts falling in love with the kid by talking with him over the phone and starts going full "he's such a nice guy he could NEVER do anything bad!"

pretty much this, you're a fool if you believe he didn't do it.

There's no way he could have did it in my opinion, the time line doesn't add up, he didn't have the time

>There's no way he could have did it
As expected anyone dumb enough to believe that moron is innocent can't even master the most basic aspects of the English language

It's first thing in the morning, I'm not too worried about my sentence structure.
I'm not saying he's 100% innocent but I don't believe he had the time to do it.

Woah you semantically assassinated that guy in the bud. Nice dude!
