Soulless

I’m glad this book was written, to serve as the definitive record of the many lives destroyed by R. Kelly. But if you’ve read all of Jim DeRogatis’ other reporting on the topic, and watched the “Surviving R. Kelly” documentary, this book doesn’t add much. It’s padded out with a lot of factual information that isn’t particularly interesting, like the backstory of every single character and the stories of getting the prior pieces of journalism published, but the meat of the book is information you’ve probably already read or seen elsewhere.
