1 comments about Seven Long Times.
- Seven Long Times is a prison memoir of one of America's greatest, most passionate chroniclers of life in dehumanizing prisons and on mean city streets. Wounded and arrested while committing an armed robbery, Thomas begins his long seven years of incarceration first in the prison ward at Bellevue and then in Sing Sing and Great Meadows (Comstock). Thomas' great heart and tough street philosophy face off lyrically with the brutality of guards, the sterility of steel and cement, the perversity fostered on both sides of the bars by incarceration. Seven Long Times is the critically acclaimed sequel to Thomas' classic urban and prison literature, Down These Mean Streets.

1 comments about Charles "Pretty Boy" Floyd: In His Own Words from the Other Side.
- Written in a chatty, conversational manner. Reading this book is similar to sitting down and listening to a storyteller weave her yarn. A quick read, this book is engrossing and difficult to put down. The author tells the story of the last hours of Pretty Boy Floyd from a different point of view- not the one from the FBI's most wanted point of veiw. That we are a product of our own mind and also how others view us- but it is never too late to change or to be forgiven.

1 comments about Zapata of Mexico.
- Peter Newell gives us a good look at the impact that Zapata had on the Mexican Revolution. He shows us that Zapata was a man of honor and respect who unlike the other key figures of the revolution was not interested in ruling the people, but instead wanted to serve them. His battle was for one thing only, that the poor of Mexico have a better chance of having a good life. In this short book, Newell does show us this, and also shows us how all the different factions at one time or another betrayed him, or didn't take him seriously. That was the downfall of some of this men. He also tells of the historic meeting between Zapata and Villa and gives a detailed description of what transcribed. Of the two, Zapata was the one who kept true to the aims of the revolution and that is why he is still a symbol of resistence to the poor of Mexico today.

1 comments about Jack the Ripper - Infamous London Serial Killer (Biography).
- All this book has is the main Wikipedia article about Jack the Ripper printed out in book form... or at least the version of that article that was online when this book was put together. While Wikipedia uses a license that allows people to republish its content, which means it's not illegal for someone to have done this, certainly as a reader there's no reason to pay $10 to get what you can get for free online. More importantly, if you look it up online you can click links to read much more detailed information that's available in several additional articles Wikipedia has about Jack the Ripper suspects, victims, books, films and so forth, which this publisher didn't even bother collecting together.
Simply put, there's no reason to buy this, or the other books by this publisher, unless you just like paying good money for a watered down version of something that's available for free online.

4 comments about Chosen by Fate.
- I am a white female who is into all kinds of music and I found Snoop and 2Pac, both to be very talented people. I felt that reading this book would help me understand the lifestyles of a gangsta rapper. I am afraid all I found was a complete waste of life and talent. Death Row Records was appropriately named. All involved seemed to have encountered death at some time. It's really a shame that people these days are so quick to pick up a gun and use it without regard for human life. Hind sight is indeed 20/20. Nothing will bring Tupac or Biggie Smalls back and still the guns and drugs are out there every day, stealing away the great talents from our world. People wake up. Death isn't the answer to Life, it is only the end of an era.
- Just like Li'l Kim says first you get the money then you get the power after you get the power you get the respect. No matter what coast your from most people got respect for Snoop and his crew. Told to you by McKinley 'Malik',Jr. Lee you get the inside info about the rise of Death Row Records. This book is one of the ones that will make you want to keep reading forever. After you read tihs book you'll know more about Suge, Snoop, Dre, and how they came to be.
- Ok well Tupac Shakur is the best rapper that ever liver and no one will ever top him. It is a same what happened to him he was very talented and i wish he was still here. I have ever cd he ever maede and he is mostly all i listen to.. I think all the books writen about him are good as long as they say the good points about him to and how sweet lhe was.Tupac Amuru Shakur R.I.P.
- This book really let's you know how it was in the midst of the Death Row project. I was really amazed on the life of McKinley Malik Lee, Jr. Buy the book. You will not be disappointed . I hear he is recording great music now (gospel rap) that should be released at the beginning of the year (2000). Wouldn't it be awesome to hear somthing with him and Snoop Doggy Dogg? Platinum baby!!!!! God Bless!!!!!!
