I think it was a good decision for him to branch out and try that. He already had the legal background to understand what was going on, so it worked well. <br /><br />Trish - I love finding books like that.

I just read The Great Gatsby and watched the 1974 movie last night which was both well-done and cheesy sometimes. The film-making and the drama even though it does deserve some kind of heavy drama intensity. I am so thrilled to be ready for Leo - I could see Leo doing the lines as I watched Redford! goose-pimple producingCarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06478474870247729611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-30999999056336329672013-01-18T07:35:54.287-05:002013-01-18T07:35:54.287-05:00I haven't read the book but remember seeing Th...I haven't read the book but remember seeing The Life of David Gale a long time ago and loving it.

But I truly enjoyed this one. He did an excellent job with his first dabbling into true crime. Between this book and The Monster of Florence, I officially have the fear of God in me when it comes to being caught at the wrong place at the wrong time.Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.com
