Review:After reading the book a while, I encountered sexual content that caused me to quit reading the book.
Also, it seemed to me that the book jumped around from boyhood days to adult days of experiences.
I would not recommend the book Read more

Review:Rereading Hunter S. Thompson's speed & acid-addled account of the 1972 U.S. presidential campaign is a profoundly enlightening experience, especially in light of the creativity and innovation Thompson infused in his reinvention of political journalism that proved to be (and still is) way ahead of its time. Fear & Loathing 2016--simply substute Hillary R. Clinton for Richard M. Nixon (Thompson realized more forty years ago that "Democrat" and "Republican" were equivalent to "heads" or "t... Read more

Review:While I admire the authors many accomplishments and can appreciate his contributions to the art of profiling, his ego leaves no room for admitting mistakes. This gives me reason for concern, no one is ever right in every instance no matter how experienced. For instance the William Heirens case which he breezes through with broad strokes doesn't touch on any of the contridictions of this particular case and in the end he writes William off as guilty without ever looking into any other aspects of ...

Review:I read this book a long time ago and enjoyed it then too. I also saw the movie based on this book. Because this case was so complicated and long it's a good idea to read the book first then see the DVD. Read more

Review:well written, characters come and go and much later are included again, takes some concentration - hard to put down - wanting to know what happens next, the ending was impressive although it could have gone on for longer. Read more

Review:Coming of Age offered a perspective into a area of women’s history that you don’t necessarily read about in text books. Throughout the narrative Moody describes her life in the South and her journey as she transforms and becomes a part of not only the womens movement but also the Civil Rights movement.

Her insightful description about how the African American community was split during this time was eye opening. Her antictodes about how part of her family that was lighter skin than her an... Read more

Review:I met Shaka through social media and then in person at a party celebrating his 1st year of freedom. I have read all of his books and enjoyed each of them. However, Writing My Wrongs hit close to home. I have a brother in prison serving a life sentence for murder. Shaka was in several of the same facilities my brother has been in. His memoir has me wondering what my brother's life is like and has me wanting to know his story. I stopped visiting and writing to my brother years ago but after ... Read more

Review:but it got a little tedious.

Ok, I fully understand why Mr. Griffin did what he did. Like many perhaps, he wanted to test the claims of racism that permeated the South. His entry in to the world of a black man in the south was somewhat smeared by a tainted eye.

The definition of racism is far removed from what may be termed "curiosity". For sure, if you're honest, there are cultural differences that some might find curious. Mr. Griffin ran into these curiosities but, in my mind, th... Read more

Review:I feel like this book could've been written slightly better but overall it was very good. The story goes into detail of the struggles he faced on his rise to power and everything he had to do to get there. Read more

Review:I respect Maya Angelou and she is a good writer (I read her biography) but I could not get through this book due to the reoccurring theme of her hatred for white people. She bluntly blames the white race for all evil in the world and every bad thing she believes happened to her even though she had a beautiful, successful life. Though I cannot imagine what it was like for her growing up in a time of horrible and unacceptable racism. She lived a difficult, heroic, amazing, triumphant life. She l... Read more
