Snitch is a Must Read
"Snitch is a must read. With the current fascination with gangsters in America, and gangsta rap read what really goes on behind the scenes. All the bravado and thuggish attitudes is just for show because when these so-called gangstas get behind closed doors they are snitches on whoever and whatever, fabricating and lying on people. That is the truth of American Justice and Ethan shows it all ...

Outstanding, yet least read book by BEE
Each chapter, or should I say story, of this book is very well written. Each character has a different voice, and all stories are interested. I have trouble trying to understand why this book is not more popular amongst readers and BEE fans alike.

I was a killer for the Hells Angels: The Story of Serge
Not a very good or entertaining book. More of a ramblimg egomaniac's diary. The book did not contain much detail on the events and jumped around way too much. He tries to make himself into a heavy and when it got hot he turned.

A Dark Chapter of the FBI's Past
Forty years ago, a civil rights movement grew in the south that was opposed by white supremacists who thought blacks should not have equal opportunities in shopping, dining, transportation, and education, and who were ready to use violence to maintain segregation. The murder in Alabama of white civil rights worker Viola Liuzzo on 25 March 1965 got the immediate attention of the nation, and of ...

great read
This book is full of wonderful plays by Bertolt Brecht. I had performed a scene from The Judge in one of my acting classes in community college, and I just HAD to get my hands on my own copy after. I'm glad I got it, because I love reading all of his plays.

Truth Really IS Stranger than Fiction
Wow. If this book were a novel, I think it might be dismissed as implausible. Yet sadly, the account of the meteoric rise and staggering demise of an executive at one of America's largest companies is all too true. The twists and turns are incredible! Very, very well written and painstakingly researched. If you are looking for a book for a hard to please fan of whodunits or suspense fiction, ...

Fabulous!
My son loved the whole series! He is a picky reader. He does not like fantasy and that is mostly what is written for boys these days. The Ivan books are historical fiction at its best. He really got a feel for what it was like to live under communism for the non-conformist.

I REALLY LIKED THIS ONE
This is the second book that I have read my Ms. Truman and I enjoyed it a bunch. It's about a writer and a hit man returning from Israel who is gunned down who was helping to promote the book. I love the characters and the story. It really kept me intrigued. I can't wait to read more from her. She is a great mystery writer and I hope that she continues to write more great books.

Wised Up by Charlie Wilhelm
Charlie Wilhelm should be admired for his courage and strength when became an informant for the FBI. It takes a strong man to turn away from wealth plus jeopardize the lives of his family and himself to do the right thing. It took a lot of courage for Charlie and Gina to return to the Baltimore area to live. This is NOT just another mob story. Any person who would believe that "Wised Up" is ...

Outstandingly gripping.
The moment I started to read this book I couldn't put it down. I read it in a day and even now months later I remember it like I read it yesterday. The images Martin McGarland created will stay with me for a very long time. This book is not only an education into the troubles in Ireland it is also a testament to the strength and courage of an amazing man. I would recommend this book to everyone ...
