Mal’s Reviews > A Deadly Wandering: A Tale of Tragedy and Redemption in the Age of Attention > Status Update

This book is most definitely not fiction but I still love it(no I did not just figure this out now I couldn't think of anything else). But I have finally reached the point where Reggie has realized he did text while drive and he is about to confess guilty and I am excited to see where that goes and the reaction of the people involved in the case

This book is still super interesting. Hearing about the legal process is super cool to me. Its all so intricate and complicated and I want to learn more about that kind of stuff. Seeing how Reggie's attorney avoids certain wordings to make sure he wins the case is so interesting to me. He has this whole game plan.

The book is starting to get into the more criminal justice aspect of the book. Talking about different charges like negligent homicide, and reckless endangerment. Those are 2 of the many charges they are considering for Reggie. I really like that they are getting more into this side of the book. Its very interesting to me to learn about it.

During the chapter I am on Reggie goes on a mission and gets a can of SoBE thrown on him and he says, "Anytime you're trying to do good, Satan is going to try and stop you. It might be with a SoBe bottle. Anything to frustrate or derail your path"(Richtel 205). I just found the fact that a peron threw an anergy drink bottle at him kind of funny, I know its kinda rude but its funny to me.

The chapter that I'm on is talking about if excessive phone use counts as an addiction. One of the points they make it that " neurological studies[...]suggest that the release of dopamine by players of a computer-based racing game is similar to that produced by amphetamines and crystal meth" meaning that phone addiction is viable(Richtel 198).
