Review from a shopper who 'Loved it'
From: Posted: Oct 10, 1996 Type: User Review One of the few books that created new fields.

Review from a shopper who 'Hated it'
From: Posted: Mar 29, 2001 Type: User Review It has no competitor doesn't mean it is great

If there is one single book that covers a wonderful topic and is absolutely unreadable, this is the one. I saw so many favourable reviews of this book that I almost started thinking that there was something wrong with me. Then I met some guys, who...

Review from a shopper who was 'On the Fence'
From: Posted: Mar 03, 1998 Type: User Review A solid topic flawed by too much text

While the book does identify many good design patterns, it falls apart when communicating these patterns. While the authors have identified the patterns, they have added too much superflous discussion and missed the chance to communicate the...

"The Corner reads like a brilliant, heartbreaking novel, and at the same time it's as important a social document as any to be written on such a theme." Review date 9/28/97

Review from a shopper who 'Loved it'

The book is not without insightful comments and stories regarding the nature and motives behind certain criminal acts. However the last half of the book deals primarily with mass murderers and spree killers. These portions are simply lurid and...

John Douglas sketches the lives and crimes of violent offenders ranging from fire starters to serial killers. Douglas' writing is like a white chalk outline at a crime scene. He does a very good job of outlining the basic impulses and motives...

Review from a shopper who 'Hated it'
From: Posted: Mar 22, 2002 Type: User Review This is NOT the true story of the Manson Murders!!!

This book is well written and highly detailed but it cannot be farther from the truth. Mr. Bugliosi's "Helter Skelter's" theory is just laugh out funny, plainly ridiculous. This is Bugliosi's story, not Charlie's. The biggest mistake you can make...

The subtitle of this book, "The True Story Of The Manson Murders", is a bit of a misnomer. This is really the true story of Vincent Bugliosi, the investigation of the Manson murders and the subsequent trial. Manson, the Family and the murders...

I'm not sure what Publishers Weekly wanted from Tony Rafael's debut book, The Mexican Mafia. It seems they don't know either. If they're looking for an academic work, a courtroom drama, or a "just the facts, m'am" retelling, they won't find it...
