Prison Stories

As a crime jouranalist and television producer I read a lot of crime books and there is nothing better than the work of writer Seth Ferranti. Ferranti repeatedly produces books that provide the reader with incredible insight and experience of a world that is often misunderstood and not considered.If you have an interest in crime, Ferranti's series of books will provide you with more knowledge, stories and fact than many other crime writters. Enjoy!

I read this book just about straight through. It was a good story, and well-paced. I only gave it a "four", however, because if he is trying to educate people about the prison system, he needs to include a glossary. I don't speak Spanish either, so between the prison jargon and the Spanish, I sometimes didn't know what was going on. I couldn't look the Spanish up in a dictionary either, it wasn't that kind of Spanish. Even a Hispanic friend of mine didn't know that dialect.Other than this, it was enjoyable. Oh, and the editor needs to learn the difference between "then" and "than."

Nothing but a whigger.

I have a friend who is in jail,and he asked for a book,because all the ones that were available to him were outdated romance novels and stuff.He said anything is better than what they have in the jail,and this sounded interesting.He said it was a pretty good book,and it kept him reading and interested.The only reason I gave this a 4 and not a 5 star is because I wa supposed to get two day shipping for my prime account,and it came 6 business days later.Besides that,he really loved the book.

The ONLY reason I didn't rate this as a '5' is because many times, the author would quote his characters in Spanish, a language I don't read or speak. I had to start looking up some words in order to comprehend the story. I hope that the next time this author writes another story, he considers that. Otherwise, very real, easy to fall into and interesting! I didn't get to the ending yet, so, I hope that the author is either home or close to it by now.

I like non fiction accounts of prison life, and this book tells it all. The writing style is effective and easy to follow, although I found it hard to follow the spanish speaking parts, which weren't excessive. This book gives a glimpse into real prison life and the many hardships that that entails. He tells it like it is and gives a sobering account of everyday life. The artwork is very good, detailed and interesting. Overall, it's a good read, interesting and the price is right. I'll probably buy the other books that his website previews.
