Snarky and entertaining.

[Ellis Windheim]

The author takes all the famous and infamous criminals and organize them first alphabetically. For each criminal they have a large photo. The say who the person is, what crime they committed, the date of the arrest, what the charge was, the sentence and the officer who made the arrest.
For example: The Beatles. Members: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison. The Charge: Drug possession. John Lennon and Yoko Ono his wife were fined 150 pounds for possession of marijuana, Paul McCartney was in jail for nine days before being deported. His jail Stint cost him $350,000. George Harrison and his wife Patti were fined 250 pounds. You cant stop reading about all these famous people who were arrested!! :{}

I either chuckled or was somewhat surprised by some of the entrees. Pretty entertaining.

Fascinating. Shows the wild range of human misbehavior. Also amazing how little punishment some murderers get.

Interesting book. Found plenty of mistakes (gramatical and involving information). Still a fun read.

500 criminals' (mostly famous/infamous people) mug shots with an excerpt about their fame and crime. Some we already know too much about (OJ Simpson), but I'm sure you'll read several that you missed even if you are a fan of pop culture.

this book taught me things i didn't even know about national events and entertained me with certain celebrity arrests. a fast read that i just couldn't put down.

This is an weird fetish about prison and criminality. Probably it has to do with the large inmate population. Or maybe not.
