À propos de cet audio
An abusive mother
Raised in the suburb of Riverside, California, 20-year-old college student Jason Bautista endured for years his emotionally disturbed mother's verbal and psychological abuse. She even locked him out of the house, tied him up with electrical cord, and on one occasion, gave him a beating that sent him to the emergency room.
A son's revenge
On the night of January 14, 2003, Jason strangled his mother. To keep authorities from identifying her body, he chopped off her head and hands, an idea he claimed he got from watching an episode of the hit TV series The Sopranos. Jason's 15-year-old half-brother, Matthew, would later testify in court that he sat in another room in the house with the TV volume turned up while Jason murdered their mother.
A crime that would bond two brothers
The morning following the murder, Matthew went to school, and Jason returned to his classes at Cal State San Bernardino. When authorities zeroed in on them, Jason lied and said that his mother had run off with a boyfriend she'd met on the Internet. But when police confronted the boys with overwhelming evidence, Jason confessed all. Now the nightmare was only just beginning for him.

Heart wrenching story
Un problème est survenu. Veuillez réessayer dans quelques minutes.
The book is well-written and engrossing.. but left me with a strong suspicion that the author was presenting a one-sided picture. Sons Jason and Matthew are presented as incredibly sympathetic. Dirmann almost presents the murder as justified.
As to presentation: Reader Gabra Zackman does a thoroughly professional job narrating the book. True, she takes annoyingly deep, poorly-timed breaths at times.. but this is a solidly above-average performance.
Altogether, 'Such Good Boys' rates 7.5 stars out of 10. I'm not sure what to make of it - given the probable bias - but the missed opportunities to help these people before the horror are undeniable & frustrating. The audiobook was a serviceable free selection, but not worth a Credit when they ask for one.
Heartbreaking Tragedy (?)

The title implied there would be justice served in the end which is not how it ended in my opinion!
