Interesting look into the life and mind of an criminal turned rehabilitated member of society and an interesting look at Alcatraz itself. The beginning bugged me as it felt as the author wanted you to sympathize with him but made the wrong choice in every decision he faced. But as the book progressed and especially during the Alcatraz escape attempt it was very well written and you could almost feel as if you were there. All in all a good, not great read.

In this fascinating autobiographical account, Jim Quillen tells the amazing story of his decade incarcerated in America's most infamous prison -- how he got there, how he stayed alive inside, and, most important, how he found the inspiration and courage to get out. No library descriptions found. |
