Birdman : The Many Faces of Robert Stroud (Review),
By A Customer
This review is from: Bird Man: The Many Faces of Robert Stroud (Paperback)
A very enjoyable book. I thought it was very well researched and kept my sharp interest from cover to cover! I would highly recommend this book to other readers interested in reading an exceptional nonfictional biography on the real Birdman of Alcatraz.

A great in depth look at the Birdman from Alcatraz,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bird Man: The Many Faces of Robert Stroud (Paperback)
This book, chosen for my psychology class is a great one. It offers a look at Robert Stroud's life before, during, and after his time was served at Alcatraz. It proved that he is NOT only a murderer that served time but that he truly believed that the prison was serving him time. It is an excellent book about history, psychology and a man of many identities. A must read but not the best book in the world.

I bought the book while on a tour at Alcatraz and it's very hard to put down! Anyone interested in Pyschology and Criminal Justice should read this book!
