A Great 5 Star Alcatraz Memoir .......2006-06-13
Jim Quillen's book in my opinion the best personal Alcartaz memoir ever written. Mr. Quillen's book was my first book ever read about Alcatraz. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in a great inmate memoir of how one ends up on The Rock and the hard prison time one was forced to endure. Quillen was an eyewitness to the 1946 blast out and was doing time in the isolation unit during this major affair. He had personal relationships with the ring leaders and wrote a spellbinding accounting of this incident. My favorite ingredient of his book is the variety of personal anecdotes that make the reader feel they are a part of the story. Quillen also ventures into his life after Alcatraz and the struggles he faced after a life in prison. I found him to be a very likable person and made it a very enjoyable reading experience for me. Several of the inmate biographies credit Alcatraz as a better institution than several others in the Federal system. Not Quillen. He describes hard time on Alcatraz which is a good contrast to many of the books out there.
There is an abbreviated index of the Alcatraz escapes in the back of the book which is useful to students and enthusiasts. I highly recommend this book, especially if you haven't read any of the personal memoirs written by former inmates. A close second is Darwin Coon's book, End of the Line. My criticism with some of the other inmate memoirs is they by and large only include a very small amount of information about life on The Rock. Quillen's book is well written and very informative in that respect. Most of book relates to his Alcatraz experience. Another book I purchased at the Alcatraz Bookstore for only $5.00 was a personal memior written by Nathan Glenn Williams, titled From Alcatraz to the White House. Several booksellers here on Amazon have this book available and it's another gripping account of life at Alcatraz and the road of crime that led there. This book is well worth the effort to locate and purchase.
I am a UCLA graduate student and have been reading on Alcatraz as a study work. I'm reviewing several Alcatraz books that I read and hope to assist others with common reading interests. Please see my other reviews on Alcatraz.
True to Life.......2006-05-24
I have been involed in criminal justice practice and education for several years. This book is one of the BEST first hand accounts of prison life I have ever read. A plus was that I got to meet the author on Alacatraz during a visit in 1996. We spoke at some length and he signed a copy of the book for me. I was sorry to hear when I went back a few years later for a return visit to the "Rock" that he had died. This book is a keeper for your library!
Absolutely Amazing.......2002-04-10
I got this book in San Fransisco and from then on I was hooked!If I could recommend any book to anyone it would be this one. I couldn't put it down. I won't let anyone borrow it because I don't want it to get ruined. Please if you are looking into getting a book on Alcatraz for yourself or anyone else, get this one! You won't regret it!! I know I didn't!!
More about how prisons change a man than Alcatraz itself.......1999-12-04
While Alcatraz is the centerpoint of the book, the overall story is about a young man's life and how it changes--how it is forcibly changed, rather, through a prison system that had reached its limit with him. Though he describes other prisons (including San Quinten), it is Alcatraz that breaks him of his youthful attitudes of rebellion and crime. And that's how Alcatraz was to him and others--not a place of rehabilitation nor even pennance, but a place meant to break them and make them harmless, or kill them. The awful sense of frustration and desperation that must accompany prison life comes through vividly in his narrative.
The story is told with honesty. I felt I had a sense of him as a young man, and later as an older one facing the real, adult world for the first time. Stories of Alcatraz itself, and its escapes, are well-told from an insider's view, with only hints of residual anger.

Disappointed with actual puzzles.......2007-02-08
Upon receiving this book, I wanted to begin with some Easy puzzles, that's why I bought it. Turns out, there is no indication of which are Easy, Medium, Hard, etc. and it does not appear to be in that order. Even my husband, quite an accomplished crossword solver, was unable to locate any Easy puzzles for me.

Book Description
Rookie reporter Chris Jones had no idea what he was getting himself into when he decided boxing would be his sports beat. In his first year ringside, the sport crept inside him, setting his heart pumping one minute and breaking it the next, making him stare at the violence-in himself and others-and daring him not to flinch. Jones gets dressed down by Don King, interviews the troubled guy who found Holyfield's ear, crashes Ali's birthday party, and watches Prince Naseem explode while Tyson implodes. Equal parts victory and defeat, FALLING HARD is an intoxicating mix of boxing distilled to its essence.
Customer Reviews:
Short But Not Sweet.......2006-09-08
Chris Jones showed the signs of a decent writer in this short book.I found it worth a read but it could have been better had he shown more depth.This ingredient could be found with a writer of some maturity.
An Amatuer Attempt...A Boxing Neophyte.......2006-01-21
Just because one is a sportswriter does not mean that they can cover all sports accurately. Not all sports have the same depth or the same level of needed understanding. It is all the worse when a sport is covered by someone who had neither a passion for the sport nor any intellectual interest in the sport. Chris Jones really doesn't have any knowledge of the history of boxing that delves deeper than a previous short newspaper clip or a 30 second sound byte.
It would be nice if this author would attempt to write at least one complete sentence. How about an attempt not to use "sportswriter" jargon or "present slang". A professional examination of this topic would have been much more digestible.
Latching onto the "feel good" character of Otis Grant was sad. The author only attempted to understand his history AFTER his assignment was given. Then he paints Mr. Grant as a helpless figure who is abused and tormented by the evil world of boxing. Oh yeah, forget that Otis Grant loved boxing...
This is a read for those with a short attention span and no interest in the true history/reality of boxing. If you like boxing...and good writing...it will just make you sick.
Book Description
With humor and grace—as well as an eye for the fabulous and outrageous—real estate rookie Alison Rogers offers an insider’s tale of the hottest real estate market in the country.
Expanding upon Rogers’ weekly national column in Inman News, Diary of a Real Estate Rookie chronicles a former real estate journalist’s wily adventures, from a gutsy attempt at starting a real estate business with only $16,000 to the (eventual) taste of sweet success. Along the way, Alison drolly relates her escapades, among them an attempt to flip abandoned shells in Newark and the rental of a Greenwich Village apartment to a famous movie star. Quirky and informative, Rookie offers real estate and financial advice in tandem with tales of suburban real estate agents, manicured New York trophy wives, and innocent ripe-for-the-plucking first-time buyers. Real estate rookies and seasoned vets alike will delight in Alison’s unique voice and perspective as she discovers her pathway out of corporate monotony to independent success in the real estate business.

Real Estate Confidential.......2007-10-08
There's something for everyone in this genuine and engaging memoir which reads like something that a young Anthony Bourdain might write about the real-estate business. Ms. Rogers, a journalist near the top of her chosen profession, decides that there must be a better way to earn big money and ends up embarking on a path that's harder than all her expertise and obvious intellect prepared her for. That she makes the big career change during her first year of marriage adds a layer of poignancy that makes this a remarkable read.
I'd recommend this book to anyone planning a midlife career change, as its lessons are universal. If you are a realtor, hate realtors, or plan to use one in the future, reading it should be considered mandatory.
Fabulous and Funny .......2007-08-06
I tore through this book in a single sitting, mining it for real estate tips (of which there are many), and for the engaging narrative. I'd recommend it for anyone who wants to understand the basics but has no patience for dry "how to sell your home" tomes. I'd also recommend it for sheer entertainment value. It's a first-person window into NYC's crazy real estate biz and Rogers sounds like a smarter, savvier (but admittedly cash-starved) Carrie Bradshaw.
Funny, touching, helpful - it's memoir and how-to in one!.......2007-08-01
I love this book. It's not many people who can make you laugh with them AND at them, cringe at their emotional ups and downs and still come out admiring them. It's so much more than a real estate book.
I Just Want My Time Back.......2007-07-31
Alison Rogers is a real estate journalist, owns two houses, and has real estate connections. So it's a disappointment to read this book and realize that there is no information in this book that was new to me, and all of the personal stories, while not poorly written, just kept me thinking, "How dumb is this person, anyway?"
The book consists of short, 3-page essays that are generally organized by timeframe. The author says she rewrote nearly half of the book when making her previously-written essays into a book, but the essays still sound like they were written separately and so do not necessarily continue thoughts/plots/ideas from the previous essays.
The author mentions that she gets a job offer for $150,000 during the course of the year, and has left a nearly $100,000 job to go through this year of real estate. However, she never seems completely committed to her real estate year. Instead, her work comes off as something done as a lark, something to give her material for her columns.
The author does not flip any houses at all. She spends months attempting to find a property to flip, then gives up.
Presumably, she does sell some real estate in this year, but I was unclear on what she actually sold. Because the essays jump around a bit, I wasn't sure whether the "Persephone" (seller) in one essay was the same person as "P." in another essay, or was "P." actually Patty (buyer) from another essay?
She shows up late to closings, late to showings, and doesn't remember to make promotional materials for her first listing until 5 minutes before the appointment. Okay, you had a week before your first showing...and it didn't occur to you to make up a flyer or get some business cards printed up?!?
Despite how this book is marketed, and what the author thinks she has included in the content, don't go into the book thinking you'll get helpful advice about flipping, selling, buying, or rebuilding (I don't remember anything in the book at all about rebuilding). This book should really be titled:
Essays From a Real Estate Dabbler: My Year of Showing Up Late, Sitting Around, and Recommending Books Which Amazon Reviewers Mostly Hate
Like a Virgil for a Contemporary Hell.......2007-07-11
I don't know anything about real estate; I'm scared of it, and if I didn't need a place to put my children and my furniture, I'd never have anything to do with it. Ms. Roger's book pulls back the curtains enough to show that it's a world at least as scary to those in it as it is to us. Her writing is breezy, funny, personal and honest... you end up liking her tremendously, and -- this is weird -- wishing you were in the market for Manhattan real estate, just so you could hire her. Which is a bit like wishing you could go whaling after reading Moby Dick, but still. A must read for anyone who's about to dip a toe into the waters of home buying... esp. if you find yourself thinking your broker must be a lizard person. She's not! Or, at least, this one isn't.

Stardom is a fascinating psychological phenomenon of today........2000-03-14
BOOK REVIEW
Andrew Evans and Glenn D. Wilson. Fame: The Psychology of Stardom. London: Vision (1999). Paperback: pp. x+178. ISBN 1-901250-24-5. £9.99.
Stardom is a fascinating psychological phenomenon, providing a window through which we witness basic emotional processes; as such, it is a topic worthy of serious scientific attention. Although history is punctuated with the famous, the 20th century saw the full-scale manufacture of stars and celebrities; and the fantasy world of the movie idol and soap character is now interwoven into the fabric of popular culture and today represents an important element of our social environment.
Popular culture - often disparaged as lacking in theoretical substance - is central to psychology: its contents may be transient, but the underlying realities that it reflects are not. As Evans and Wilson point out, in the Selfish Gene (1976), Richard Dawkins states: "The evolution of the capacity to simulate seems to have culminated in subjective consciousness. Why this should have happened is, to me, the most profound mystery facing modern biology. Perhaps consciousness arises when the brain's simulation of the world becomes so complete that it must include a model of itself". One technological expression of this fundamental biological drive is the creation of the artificial psychological realms that the cinema and television brings to us daily; earlier, Shakespeare served a similar function, providing us with characters and events through which we could vicariously model perennial psychological dilemmas. Evans and Wilson's highly readable book tackles this difficult topic in a way that is sure to inform and delight in equal measure.
The book covers a number of themes. Chapter 1 (Whence Fame) discusses the historical development of fame, from the Kings of the Old Testament to the soap stars of today; and chapter 2 (Fame and the Media), the nature of the communication of fame via music, photographs, product names (e.g., Mercedes, the daughter of Benz) and awards (e.g., Nobel/Pulitzer), as well as the manipulation of the media by celebrities. Chapter 3 (Stars and their Audiences) covers the commercial creation of audiences by the building of theatres and cinemas and the creation of stars. Evans and Wilson survey the psychological ties to stars that involve emotional affinity (usually same sex; e.g., for a man having the confidence and raw energy of Brando; for a women the feminine allure of Munroe); self-identification (to be in the star's role); imitation (role modelling), and projection (the assignment of unconscious emotions to others who act out our desires on the screen). Chapter 4 (Factors in Fame) traces the sources of fame (i.e., born, made, serendipity/notoriety), including the factors that promote fame in the aspirant, e.g., name changes (Frances Gumm became Judy Garland; Archie Leach, Cary Grant; Marion Morrison, John Wayne), motivation and high psychoticism (tough mindedness), reflecting the pursuit of pleasure (high dopamine levels) and the absence of behavioural restraint (low serotonin; associated with this neurotransmitter, depression is not uncommon among stars, and alcohol/drug abuse seems almost a requirement of the job).
Chapter 5 (Becoming Famous) discusses the dubious pleasures of fame, often leading to the highlighting of psychological weaknesses (many stars seek psychiatric help). Chapter 6 (Fame in the Family) focuses on child stars and the influence of parents on their careers, including the pathological problems that frequently develop when the child star hits adulthood. Chapter 7 (Fans and Fan Behaviour) addresses the behaviour of fans, including how they imitate their idols and the psychological dynamics behind their devotion, including discussion of stalkers and actual murders of idols (e.g., Mark Chapman's killing of John Lennon). Chapter 8 (The Social Context of Fame) presents the phenomenon of the "star environment", i.e., the social realms of interrelations that are constructed by and for stars.
Chapter 9 (The Downside of Fame) looks into the frequently found slide into self-centredness, narcissism and grandiosity, as well as the phenomenon of stage fright that afflicts many famous actors (e.g., Lawrence Olivier and Richard Burton); and, more disturbing, the blurring of the line between actors and their fictional characters (the most extreme example involved a soap star in Brazil who actually murdered his female co-star following a soap scene in which she rejected him!). Finally, Chapter 10 (Coping with Fame) examines the pressures on the famous (e.g., dealing with inevitable failure in a world dominated by success); and the strategies and therapies for coping with such maladies as stage fright, burnout, fear of other famous people, career setbacks, etc. To be sure, all that glisters is not gold!
Evans and Wilson's book is an excellent introduction to fame and stardom; and it should prove an indispensable text for specialised courses in media and communication studies. Also, as it provides a rich source of everyday examples of human behaviour, in conjunction with standard psychology texts it may be utilised by undergraduate psychology students to explore psychological theories of behaviour. Why do people so closely identify with the personal lives of actors? Why are we attracted to horror films? Why are we so interested in the make-believe, fictional dilemmas of soap characters? Why are successful stars so often unhappy? Are personality traits important in success? What are the implications of this form of popular culture for scientific theories of consciousness? Is genius 99 percent perspiration, 1 percent inspiration? Are creativity and emotional instability cut from the same cloth? All human science libraries should purchase a copy of this inexpensive and fun book.

"In BUST we've captured the voice of a brave new girl: one that is raw and real, straightforward and sarcastic, smart and silly, and liberally sprinkled with references to our own Girl Culture." So say Marcelle Karp and Debbie Stoller, smart, sassy founders of BUST ("the magazine for women with something to get off their chests"), and editors of this funky, fabulous, neofeminist manifesto. The Guide to the New Girl Order collects the best of BUST, including thoughtful articles, personal essays, and racy rants about anything from abortion to the lameness of the Lifetime television network. In their own words, they address "that shared set of female experiences that includes Barbies and blowjobs, sexism and shoplifting, Vogue and vaginas."
Having started out as a hand-stapled zine, BUST swims with an in-your-face, grrrl power attitude that alternately taunts, encourages, and calls readers to battle. Contributors range from mysterious authors with names like Betty Boob and Scarlett Fever to such famous femmes as Courtney Love. Karp and Stoller organize the pieces into sections labeled "Sex and the Thinking Girl, "Men Are from Uranus," etc., offering introductions for each that provide humor, insight, and cultural context. And with selections like "Sex, Lies, and Tampax," "How to Be as Horny as a Guy," and "Bitch on Heels," this is not your mother's ladies' journal. Also included are such hilarious explorations of pop culture as "The Mysterious Eroticism of Mini-Backpacks," "My Keanu, A Fantasy," and "Bring Me the Head of Melanie Banderas." Whether you're intimidated or intrigued by such an irreverent approach to redefining the feminine, there's only more to come--and there's no place to hide. As the editors warn, "Wake up and smell the lipgloss, ladies: the New Girl Order has arrived." --Brangien Davis
Book Description
Both a literary magazine and a chronicle of girl culture, BUST was born in 1993. With contributors who are funny, fierce, and too smart to be anything but feminist, BUST is the original grrrl zine, with a base of loyal female fans--all those women who know that Glamour is garbage, Vogue is vapid, and Cosmo is clueless.
The BUST Guide to the New Girl Order contains brand new, funny, sharp, trenchant essays along with some of the best writings from the magazine: Courtney Love's (unsolicited) piece on Bad Girls; the already immortal "Don'ts For Boys"; an interview with girl-hero Judy Blume; and lots of other shocking, titillating, truthful articles. A kind of Our Bodies, Ourselves for Generation XX, The BUST Guide to the New Girl Order is destined to become required reading for today's hip urban girl and her admirers.
Praise for BUST magazine:
"Thoughtful articles sit happily alongside wicked parodies. . . . Well-crafted and insightful, it combines the literacy of traditional writing with the uniquely personal prose of zines." --Wired
"You must, you must, you must submit to BUST. This happening girl zine updates old-guard feminism with witty new-chick pulp fiction." --Entertainment Weekly

fun way to approach feminism.......2006-02-07
this book is a great new approach to feminism. although a lot of it is outdated---who wants to hang out with gwynth paltrow anymore? it provides an easy, yet self-empowering, way to introduce yourself to feminism. it clearly shows that not every feminist is the same, and that feminism does not have to mean man-hating, pop culture hating, or strict politics, the way so many people assume it does.
something to come back to again and again..........2005-06-29
i've had this book on my shelf for at least 5 years and find myself going back to it every once in a while, finding that what i've underlined in the past still rings true today. it's witty, inspiring, validating, amusing, and on....
Fun, Interesting, but not so thought-provoking.......2005-04-18
I own a copy of this book, and thoroughly enjoyed reading it. It's a fun gift, I suppose. Check it out at the library. Don't bother buying it. It's a series of personal stories and essays - most are entertaining. Don't expect any radical insights.
one-dimensional and self-obsessed........2004-01-23
The appeal of "The Bust Guide to the New Girl Order" is jarringly similar that of the vapid glossy fashion magazines Bust's writers love to hate (and occasionally work for): It is easy reading, taut with unresolved ethical and philosophical paradoxes, and intercut with rather feeble attempts at insight and actual journalism.
This is not to say it isn't entertaining. It is, most of the time. The prose is not bogged down with complicated ideas or long words. It is light and easy reading, the kind one does before bed, allowing simplicity to tickle the brain into slumber.
Bust's core philosophy is very simple: Anything I like and find pleasurable is feminist and right and empowering. Because of this philosophy, it is unnecessary for any of the essays to examine why something may be wrong or negative or unfeminist or contradictory. It is an intoxicating atmosphere of stubborn self-righteousness and self-worship, but ultimately, it is completely devoid of any real feminist discussion or philosophy. The essays drop names like Susan Faludi and Naomi Wolf and Camille Paglia, but fall far short of posessing any of the virulence, thoughtfulness, intellect and linguistic prowess of the work of those authors.
Ultimately, "The Bust Guide to the New Girl Order" is probably a good introduction to feminism for the novice--especially young teenage girls, as the juvenille writing tends to read as if it could have been ripped out the diary any given 14 year old girl. But for anyone who is well-aquainted with the subject matter, it is going to feel self-indulgent, shallow, and amateur, kind of a "Chicken Soup for the Feminist Soul."
SHOULD BE A REQUIREMENT IN JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL!.......2002-12-17
this past year i found myself amoung some very stong, independant and very sexually open women who i'm so grateful are now very dear close friends! one of them lent me this book and it was so incredibly refreshing!! i think that if all girls, at around the age of 12 or 13, read this book, they would feel so much better about their changing bodies and feelings! it hits on all the taboos and all those things you NEVER EVER would admit you did!! i loved it and highly recommend it! especially if you have a friend with a young daughter!

a little planning goes a long way...........2000-04-14
'Revenge is sweet, but the taste of cold revenge lingers longer'. What a book! I never thought there were that many ways to destroy your enemies, often for so little outlay. The book has many easy to follow recipes for disastrous results towards the object of your affliction, often with very little preperation. Varying from simple little attention seekers to landing your victim in jail, this book covers a broad spectrum of revengology. If there are people in this world who get on your nerves, then this is the book for you.
