Reviews

[Dave/Maggie Bean]

I'm biased, and I freely admit it. Marc and I have been friends for over a decade -- hell, the guy gave away the bride at my wedding. (I think the gents to whom he gave her shipped her off to Kazakhstan or an adjacent former Soviet republic. Just kidding...) Having admitted that I'm anything but impartial, I'll still give the book five stars. As a reformed ne'er-do-well and scofflaw, I can attest that MacYoung knows his stuff. Granted, some of the material was old hat, but quite a bit of it left me slapping myself on the head and hissing: "Damn! I wish I'd thought of that twenty years ago!" (This led the Transit Police to keep a close eye on me all the way from Hartsfield International to North Springs Station, but that's another story...)

PS: My copy's autographed -- and yours probably isn't! Nyah, nyah!

Finally, a self-defense book on the best tactical option in the book: running away! Useful material.
