My Journey to Hell and Back with Amanda Knox - Honor Bound
My Journey to Hell and Back with Amanda Knox - Honor Bound

Review:Solecito was Amanda Knox's boyfriend of a week or so when implicated in the murder of Meredith Kirchner in Perugia, Italy. Every student headed for another country should read this book. It covers a lot that was shown in media reports, but also deals with his family's handling of his trial and incarceration. He also tells about the terrible living conditions in the jails he spent time in, and his feelings at being set free after 4years. Read more

Manson: The Life and Times of Charles Manson
Manson: The Life and Times of Charles Manson

Review:I lived my early college years in those turbulent 60`s when Manson and his "family" became household names. Mr Guinn`s book brought back the horror that was Charles Manson. A scary but fascinating look into the life of a sociopath and those who followed him. Read more

Blackout: Remembering the Things I Drank to Forget
Blackout: Remembering the Things I Drank to Forget

Review:This book is spot on. Different words, a few similar stories, friends and characters stolen from my own life story. Blackouts used to be my safe place, but now working to remember everything is where I feel safe although extremely uncomfortable. Thank you for writing the truth even while you continue to remember what that truth is. Read more

From Mafia Soldier to Cocaine Cowboy to Secret Government Asset
From Mafia Soldier to Cocaine Cowboy to Secret Government Asset

Review:Amazon's top editors chose American Desperado to be a pick of the month. It was daring choice, given that Jon Roberts shares that space - one of the top ten books -- with Steve Jobs. I thank the editors for taking such a risk. American Desperado is not for the squeamish. It is about bad seeds, not apples.

Jon Roberts is a classic, made-in-America, traveling salesman and raconteur. Why are the bad guys so good at telling stories? Is it because they spend so much time in cars, waiting fo... Read more

Almost an instant classic upon its publication, it has enjoyed almost fifty years in the limelight, and never fallen by the wayside. Yet its author remains something of an enigma, a writer turned recluse who never wrote a second novel. That is exactly what Charles J. Shileds sets out to explore in "Mockingbird: A Portrait of Harper Lee".
