For the Thrill of It: Leopold, Loeb, and the Murder That Shocked Chicago
from Harper
Price: $18.45

Customer Review:

From the first chapter:
"It was a good location and an auspicious time gambling was then unregulated in the city and there were at least a dozen gaming houses within a block of Jacob Franks's pawnshop."
There are at least half a dozen similar instances of run-on sentences in the first... more info

Customer Review:

This was a long story of how Elissa grew up in the Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints community, how her life was controlled by a man called "The Prophet" whom she was taught to believe spoke for God and how she eventually broke free.

Bringing Down the House: The Inside Story of Six M.I.T. Students Who Took Vegas for Millions
from Free Press
Price: $10.20

Customer Review:

I liked the story behind what these kids did. It was exciting and scandolous. I didn't like the actual people in the story. Most of them seem like overpriveleged brats who were looking for a free lunch. I was also a tad disappointed with how simple their methods really were. It had less to do with... more info

Gaspipe: Confessions of a Mafia Boss
from William Morrow
Price: $17.13

Customer Review:

Great Novel-like read...Altho author biases towards Casso, he truly makes a hero out of him in reader's eyes. Paints vivid pictures of every crime and non-crime-related tale and leaves reader waning more and more after each chapter, not only about Casso but every Made Man mentioned.

Always Running: La Vida Loca: Gang Days in L.A.
from Touchstone
Price: $11.20

Customer Review:

This book is a great book, very eye opening and wonderfully written.
I have to wondering though, throughout the book, what is going through the author's mind...
He complains that the police treated them poorly. They were CRIMINALS. If they weren't up to no good at that SPECIFIC point in... more info

Killing Pablo: The Hunt for the World's Greatest Outlaw
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $10.88

Customer Review:

Once I begin a book I usually finish it, even if it's not that good.
But I couldn't finish this book. I read about one third and then quit. It was so boring. It was more about politics than drugs. I guess I was expecting something along the lines of Doctor Dealer (a great read!).

The Man Who Made Vermeers: Unvarnishing the Legend of Master Forger Han van Meegeren
from Harcourt
Price: $17.16

Customer Review:

Not only is "The Man Who Made Vermeers" a great introduction to Han Van Meegeren and his notorious Vermeer forgeries, it serves as an excellent window into Nazi-controlled Holland during the war. It is Lopez's examination of Van Meegeren's Nazi sympathies--and his deft analysis of how Van Meegeren's... more info

Assata: An Autobiography (Lawrence Hill & Co.)
from Lawrence Hill Books
Price: $11.53

Customer Review:

I'd only heard her story in snippets; she was a Panther, a revolutionary and a wanted woman. She has been lauded and lambasted and I believed that she was someone that I needed to learn more about. My education started by reading her biography.
From a literary standpoint, the book is beautiful.... more info

The Ice Man: Confessions of a Mafia Contract Killer
from St. Martin's Griffin
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:

This book was an intense read. It's definitely filled with everything you might expect from reading the Amazon description. The one flaw is its lack of credibility, but I guess if a killer is as good as this, he wouldn't leave a trail of evidence to prove his stories are true later on.

Can You Ever Forgive Me?: Memoirs of a Literary Forger
from Simon & Schuster
Price: $11.97

Customer Review:

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this witty book. And Lee's "forgeries" of this marvelous cast of characters are great reading too! Thanks, Lee. I was happy to read these morsels and hope many more folks purchase it and enjoy it too! Now perhaps you could do a screenplay where these folks all sit around... more info
