No doubt, Jack Saunders was driven to it. The justice system failed again. The child molester who beheaded his eight-year-old daughter walked free. In this sad aftermath, Jack began his secret war on crime. He joined the Detroit Police Department and rose through the ranks to become a detective. However, Jack's after-hours activities included a different method for reducing crime statistics.

Serial killers, molesters, thugs and animal haters soon discovered the awful truth. Suddenly, legal loopholes vanished and fancy paperwork maneuvers were useless. No appeals or plea bargains were allowed.

Instead, justice was swift, sudden and certain. This one-man crusade served as judge, jury and executioner. Sentences were carefully crafted for each criminal; it resembled poetic justice.

Detroit's crime statistics plunged. When hundreds of its criminal class simply disappeared, no one asked why. The unspoken message was clear: Choose a new career; crime doesn't pay like it once did.

There was another unexpected bonus. The psychological role of victim and predator became reversed. Now criminals worried about retribution, fearful for their own safety.

While his previous two works, "From the Ground Up: A Study of the Use of Prepositions in The Dramatic Works of Nikolai Gogal," and "Metamorphosis," were both gloriously academic and even enjoyable, Mark M. Anderson scores with his newest! (Although I did find his insect to human thing interesting.) "Kafka's Clothes..." gives us an indepth view into the wardrobe of this guy Franz Kafka. I particularly enjoyed the long descriptions of his Wednesday sweater, an article of clothing that echoes vaguely of the modern day sweater-vest. The guy, Franz Kafka, wore a lot of neutrals, mostly like tweed and wool. Anderson gives wonderful insight into the sock drawer not only of the guy but of the time. Engaging. Brilliant? Also, not to be missed is chapter four's retelling of "The Pied Piper." I had no idea that the guy playing the flute was blonde. Who knew?

This book is excellent. I used to hear Mark tell this story when I was a child. Now, being older, I still come back to this book and read it around Christmas time. It is a timeless story that both young and old will enjoy. Mark brings the story to life using the same techniques as he does when performing live. This story will take you to new places and use that imagination to bring characters to life. A must for all families!

I purchased this book for a quite dedicated chiefs fan and he was overwhelmed with all the facts, details, and history that is contained within this book. It is easy to find the fact that you are looking for because the book is well organized. There are many photos (B&W) throughout the book with a special color section in the middle. A great addition to any KC Chiefs fan's library.

Excellent collectors item! Well worth the price considering how many times my husband and I have referred to it's information.

Many people of moderate wealth can learn tax planning from this book in a simple and accessible way, from anecdotes combined with excellent brief tax explanations. Younger (30 to 40) folks can benefit the most because they have more financial years to gain from good decisions made today.

As a manager of separate individual stock market accounts, I have been interested in financial planning, but skeptical. This book really reaches me because it offers simple real life examples where I see the point and recognize client situations which can benefit from the solutions.

Dunn uses high profile individuals for many of his cases, drawing from news reports and other sources. When you hear about very good and woefully bad decisions made by folks such as Sam Walton, Warren Buffet, Jackie Kennedy and many others, the magnitude of savings from good decisions really comes home. You will see good reasons to get some competent help.

Anyone who has ever sailed, or dreamt of a sailing adventure, has no choice but to read this book. Mark Darby has completed an awesome task, tantamount to a dare, by sailing a small boat through some large seas around a huge continent! His adventures have been well crafted with vivid word pictures and a descriptive action style which put me in the boat with him and Sue. I can still clearly see the beautiful Australian coastline, the memorable people they met and the first reading has left me with a sweet salt water taste in my mouth and wanting more.

This is, I believe, a unique sea saga which would encourage any would be adventurer, with personal challenges and emotions spilling out onto every page. Nine out of 10!

The Sino-Japanese War was the first modern foreign war Japan fought in her history. Without sustaining one single battlefield defeat, Japan was able to chase the Chinese armies out of Korea and the Liaodung peninsula.

Mutsu Munemitsu has presented a memoir of all the political dealings surrounding this war with startling frankness and openness. He talks about how Japan needed an excuse to go to war with China, and that the Korean crisis was just that. A lively narrative which is essential reading for any historian of this era.

the book was good. i love kenny!!
