Bonnie and Clyde: The Making of a Legend by Karen Blumental

Bonnie and Clyde: The Making of a Legend Book Review

Rating: 4.5/5

This book contains mature themes, such as murder and violence. 

Bonnie and Clyde may just be one of the most famous outlaw couples that America has ever seen. Even today, long after their deaths, they are still talked about and romanticized. But who were they? What really went on during their lives? How did they go from 2 ordinary people, to being hunted down by the police in multiple states? Find out in this biography by Karen Blumental. 


I was drawn to this book because I am fascinated by true crime and mystery. In fact, I was so interested in this book that I managed to finish it in one day. It was very interesting to learn about Bonnie and Clyde's background, and how they had gotten to the peak of their crime streak. This biography was well-written, and it also included photos and debunked many rumors around the couple. If you are ever interested in Bonnie and Clyde, this is the perfect book for you!
