Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages. I’ll definitely make another purchase soon! Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!

WONDERFUL book! Better than described, in just like new condition [not just good]. Packaged very carefully, shipped very securely. Great seller, would buy from again in a heartbeat! No communication occurred, but I imagine it would have been as good as the rest of their customer service. Very happy with purchase, thank you very much!

    Great Subject Matter, But Written Poorly

    I was SO excited to get this book. I thought the subject matter was so completely intriguing, and I heard an interview on the radio with Jim Bruton, so I ordered the book. Much to my dismay, it was written for a fifth grader. It didn't have as much psychology in it as I'd hoped, and it didn't delve into the minds of the killers very much. It was cool that they had pictures weaved into the book, but they were boring. I usually keep all my books, but I'll definitely be selling this one back.

    Excellent Non-Fiction Work

    Well written account of Warden James H. Bruton's journey through the Minnesota corrections system beginning as a corrections officer through his tenure as Oak Park Heights' warden. The book takes us behind the walls of the world-famous supermax facility as he relates gripping tales on how he played the game. Great purchase, great one-day read.
