This is the first book of C.J. West's that I have ever read (thanks to a bookmark) --when I got it, read the back etc. it isn't a book I would have just picked up and bought! But I'm so glad he sent me a bookmark and then a book and I got to read it! I really believe it should be required reading in all schools including college!!! The drama, keeps you going but best of all it makes you really, truly think and think hard!

I didn't rush through it because it truly made me wonder about our Justice system! Also makes you wonder about our whole society! Plus I enjoyed that as Michael, the burgler, was getting his education you could tell by his writing also, you didn't just have to hear him talk ---he's telling his story to us and I was impressed with what he was going through. Michael was so logical about his decisions that at times he really had no other choice. He never actually hurt any one but he did in that he stole what wasn't his, and yet he had no family social life, little education to learn from either.

This would be great book for ANY Book Clubs! Personally I would have pushed the green button (it even has it on the back cover)! Truly a mind boggling, make you think book! I am going to re-read it now.........and look for more of CJ West's books!
