There are books that change your worldview when you read them. This is one such book. A remarkable tale of corruption, ineptitude, and downright deceitfulness from people we entrust to do the right thing. To uphold the law. This book is so well written. It takes you on a journey of murder, rape, and burglaries. And a wrongful conviction of an innocent man, who spends in remaining days in prison while the real culprit continues to create mayhem. You think you can trust the police and district att...

This book is simply fantastic. Having been in this world since the early seventies, I can hardly tell with how much interest I was waiting to get it. It's simply amazing, all the TMQ releases are fully described, with source of the recordings, and the photos of the first pressing, master tapes, even some metal masters. You can have at last full information on release dates and various details of these records. All photos are in full color with high quality printing. And the text is also amazing,...

Billy The Liquor Guy is another addition to becoming one of my favorite books, it pulled me in from the start. In truth, when I started this one, I immediately knew I would be giving a 5 star rating. It was one I couldn’t put down and never disappointed me. I kept thinking what else could happen and something always did. Sometimes so effortlessly and definitely unexpected. The suspense increased throughout the book and kept me at the edge of my seat. There was so much going on and I certain...

Thank you Paul for being so brave and thank you to all those who supported you and other victims. This story needs world attention. The cover-ups and deceptions over decades, all shrouded behind the walls of the most powerful organisation is reprehensible, but the suffering of the child victims is unimaginable. How this was perpetrated on children cannot be comprehended. Pell and everyone else who knew need to accept responsibility, that is for sure. Thank you to Monique Patterson for bringing t...

The Girl I Never Knew: Who Killed Melissa Witt? is a work of non-fiction in the true crime and thriller subgenres by LaDonna Humphrey. As the title suggests, the work focuses on the mysterious circumstances surrounding the death of Melissa Witt, and the answers to her untimely death seem to lie within the Ozark National Forest, Arkansas. Humphrey’s vested interest in unmasking Melissa’s killer is impressive for her sheer determination and attention to detail, but also remarkable considering that...

Just got this for my birthday (THANKS Marc Time) & have been into boots since reading the Rolling Stone article in ‘69 & soon getting Great White Wonder, Kum Bak, Get Back To Toronto, Liv-R, etc, even running a record store in Berkeley (‘79-82 with Marc Time) that stocked all the boots. As someone who’s lived in Pasadena for over 30 years, I spotted a small error in the beginning that I guess you have to be in Pasadena & into music to have caught - 2 different radio stations with similar...

Very enjoyable book about a favorite topic. Adds another perspective to an elusive and secretive story. Some repetition in the book, some incorrect information and inconsistent use of pseudonyms. Many of the players have been identified elsewhere, and the story might have been more enlightening had it been more carefully researched and more scholarly written. Although a fun story, the writing is fairly amateurish and simplistic. Still, it shines additional and sometimes new light on a subject, r...
