Rapunzel's Revenge
Shannon Hale
,
Dean Hale
Bloomsbury USA Children's Books
, 2008
Hale/Hale the gang's all here
A popular novelist may be prone to looking at the whole of their oeuvre. They consider their past works, look to the future, and decide to write a graphic novel. What makes them do this? Is it the potential to reach whole new audiences? Is it the accessibility of the ...
For the Thrill of It: Leopold, Loeb, and the Murder That Shocked Chicago
Simon Baatz
Harper
, 2008
Beautifully written - Reads like In Cold Blood
Baatz meticulously researches a fascinating subject and then tells the story in beautifully written prose. It is not an exaggeration to compare his book favorably with Truman Capote's In Cold Blood, i.e. I couldn't put it down! For The Thrill Of It is the best book ...
Bringing Down the House: The Inside Story of Six M.I.T. Students Who Took Vegas for Millions
Ben Mezrich
Free Press
, 2003
Great price for a great book!
Book was like new and delivered as promised. Great book for a great price. Very easy transaction. Thank you!
The Ice Man: Confessions of a Mafia Contract Killer
Philip Carlo
St. Martin's Griffin
, 2007
Had to put it down to exhale, many times
It's completely believable. (did someone say it isn't totally believable?) It was the first experience I'd had reading any first-hand telling by someone as he in his teens kills his worst bully. His cold disposing of that body and getting away with it. Horrific. But ...
Always Running: La Vida Loca: Gang Days in L.A.
Luis J. Rodriguez
Touchstone
, 2005
Almost too realistic, yet a must read.
I heard this book was good, but didn't know how good it actually was until I read it. There isn't a dull page. What's most alarming about the book is not necessarily the events that take place, as many movies about this lifestyle have been made since the book's ...
Killing Pablo: The Hunt for the World's Greatest Outlaw
Mark Bowden
Penguin (Non-Classics)
, 2002
Another Bowden Thriller
The full story of the life and times of Pablo Escobar: from his early life of crime as a headstone thief to his brutal rise to the pinnacle of the Medellin drug cartel. Most of the story however, is about how the joint military and intelligence Task Force eventually ...
Under and Alone: The True Story of the Undercover Agent Who Infiltrated America's Most Violent Outlaw ...
William Queen
Ballantine Books
, 2007
Awsome
I really enjoyed the book. Being a member of the law enforcement community and also a Harley rider, it was hard to put down. A good read. Buy it.
Gaspipe: Confessions of a Mafia Boss
Philip Carlo
William Morrow
, 2008
Gaspipe Rocks
Both my husband and me thoroughly enjoyed Gaspipe. Both of us come from Dyker Heights and thought Carlo's portrayal of the Mafia culture was eerie and uncanny. We note with dismay the posting here of R.J. Rios. I can only say that this fellow's sources of ...
The Man Who Made Vermeers: Unvarnishing the Legend of Master Forger Han van Meegeren
Jonathan Lopez
Harcourt
, 2008
Elegant and Authoritative
"The Man Who Made Vermeers" tells the story of Dutch art forger Han van Meegeren in greater detail, with deeper insight, and providing a more compelling sense of historical context than any other treatment I have seen of this subject. The author, Jonathan Lopez, is an ...
The Wolf of Wall Street
Jordan Belfort
Bantam
, 2007
keeps your interest
I had heard Jordan Belfort talk on Donnie Bonaduce's radio show, and wanted to read the book right away. This guy has no shame and he'll tell you - all the drugs he's taken- all the money he made (mostly illegally) and spent, how he treated people and how they treated ...
The Pimp
Iceberg Slim
Holloway House
, 1987
A Dark Ugly Book
"Pimp" is a dark, ugly book. It's author Robert Beck, aka Iceberg Slim spent much of his life as a pimp. It's written to leave a bad taste in your mouth. That is the intent of the author. This is a chronicle of how he wasted twenty-five years of his life. Maya ...
Assata: An Autobiography (Lawrence Hill & Co.)
Assata Shakur
Lawrence Hill Books
, 2001
If you are into racism, women issues and simple reading, this book if for you!
This is by far the best autobiography I have read so far. It was an easy read and extremely expressive. In many ways it is disturbing if you think of what the character goes through. The explicit racism, abuse, pain that Assata had to endure is decribed really well. ...
Papillon (P.S.)
Henri Charriere
Harper Perennial Modern Classics
, 2006
This riveting autobiography won't let you put it down
The thing that Henri Charriere desired most was his freedom. A French prisoner, he never stopped plotting ways to escape. The only time when he didn't have a plan in motion was when he was either in solitary, or upon personal request of the warden (they would request ...
Outlaw Journalist: The Life and Times of Hunter S. Thompson
William McKeen
W. W. Norton
, 2008
This is the REAL bio, not some celebrity fraud
Sure we've heard about his famous friends, his Rolling Stone cred, all the legendary drug abuse, so much so that it's made him a pop culture caricature. William McKeen is perhaps the first to step behind the curtain, cozy up to the good doctor's real posse and find out ...
