My father spent many years in canadian prisons and I read his copy of the book. He endured alot of the same experiences as Roger. Ithink the book helped my father tell me what he found so painful to express. As the the bible says the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree. But I think Mr. Caron helped plant a new seed. A realistic look at prison life without having to go there myself.

This book is so easy to read. I'm not a reader and books aren't my passion but this masterpiece kept me going till the end. For those who don't like to read or who are forced, I suggest you start reading this work of art!

This book has really opened my eyes to prison life in the early years. I had the opportunity to meet Rodger and he discussed his early years in prison. The sad part was he stated prison life became an easier life for those long time felons. He is once again behind bars, his words must be true. He has witten two other books, JO JO and Bingo, excellent reads.
