Based on the books i read the first semester, the one that caught my attention was called “The art of the heist: confessions of a master thief”, which is a true crime book by Myles J.Connor Jr, a son of A decorated policeman and a grandson of a Mayflower passenger William brewster, connor grew up in Milton, Massachusetts. Through his juvenility he developed a love for Rock and Roll, and art which helped him later on when he committed several crimes and unsolved rapes, he says he would never date someone younger than him, but in fact according to the evidence collected, it demonstrates he does. This story takes place mostly in the 70s and 80s in Boston and it’s mainly about his trials and time in prison, he also talks a bit about his family in the beginning of the book. While he was in prison he tried to escape jail several times and the details are very wildly unreasonable, when he mentions that he outwit the guards in Maine jail with a soap gun that he carved out as a sculpture of art. Given these points, I consider that this book is somewhat related to the corruption of law enforcement back in the 70s and the writing was simplistic with dynamic characters. If you are into true crime stories, I would suggest reading this book. Although It was not what I'd hoped, but yet wasn’t bad, I liked it because it makes you visualize how the crimes were prosecuted.
During this semester I also read a book similar to yours, but yours seems like an interesting and exciting book. I enjoyed reading the summary you presented because I can see the authors main points. I also like the description you added to composing your writing. This is a real life event that occurred and should be brought out there for other readers to read.
ReplyDeleteCrime books are always interesting to read and this does seem like a one that might catch the eye due to the way you put it. Visualization is always great and the way you summarized it helped me view little important things viewed within the book. I think maybe if you added a little more suspense to make it seem more interesting that would've been good but other than that the summary was great!
