Bonnie and Clyde may be the most notorious - and celebrated - outlaw couple America has ever known. This is the true story of how they got that way.

Bonnie and Clyde - we've been on a first name basis with them for almost a hundred years. Immortalized in movies, songs, and pop culture references, they are remembered mostly for their storied romance and tragic deaths. But what was life really like for Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker in the early 1930s? How did two dirt-poor teens from West Texas morph from vicious outlaws to legendary couple? And why?

Award-winning author Karen Blumenthal devoted months to tracing the footsteps of Bonnie and Clyde, unearthing new information and debunking many persistent myths. The result is an impeccably researched, breathtaking nonfiction tale of love, car chases, kidnappings, and murder set against the backdrop of the Great Depression.

I enjoyed the perspectives from different sources which I never heard elsewhere. I also enjoyed the tone and flow of the narrators voice. However, it would have been perfect if music from that period and/or other audio clips (how automobiles sounded at that time, etc) were included. That is the only reason why I do not give the performance 5 stars. Very nice book!

Great Book

I haven’t read much on B & C, but this was a good start. Author gave insight into the lives of the people who died during this time.

Great!

I could not stop listening to this audiobook. It is very well researched and destroyed many of the misconceptions I had of the Bonnie and Clyde story. The author cuts through the myths like a knife through hot butter. I love the way she gave the background of those killed by the Barrow gang, and how their murders affected their families. The narrator also had a very pleasant voice. Highly recommend.
