Well written spellbinding, non-stop chiller!,
By buhweep@webtv.net (Cincinnati, OH.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chop Shop (Mass Market Paperback)
As a seasoned veteran of true crime novels, I must say that this is the first one that I read cover to cover without stopping. Braidhill does an excellent job at uncovering the gruesome monstrosities at the Lamb funeral home from the pliers that were used to rip out peoples gold fillings, the mass cremations that resulted in an overflow of human sludge,and the murder of a rival mortician. This book packs a powerful punch. I liked this book because it is well written, excellently detailed, and possesses a sense of sympathy for the many victims of David Sconce. Highly recommended for true crime fans.

Bone Chilling!!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Chop Shop (Mass Market Paperback)
As someone who was and knows of others who were victimized by David Sconce's pathetically sick and greedy mind, this book gives me the finality of knowing what really happend behind closed doors.The folks who have since taken over the funeral home are just as sick about his past activities as I am. What makes me feel better is knowing that someone who cares about people has stepped in to take over and clean up the memory of that horrible place. I appreciate their help in me finding out about this book so I can really know what happend to people I loved.

Organizational desperation,
This review is from: Chop Shop (Mass Market Paperback)
In addition to detailing aboundant blood, guts and gore, ChopShop poignantly depicts what so many organizations do when theirexistence is jeopardized: they do anything and everything to survive. In this case, it's a funeral home that is beleaguered by a widespread industry downturn, and is thus faced with the challenge of foraging for revenues.God knows, I've toiled at several businesses that, when threatened with extinction, resorted to every imaginable sort of behavior--much of which was just as flagrantly illegal as the funeral home's savage and grisly activities depicted in this well-written book. In light of this, I highly recommed this book as both a scintillating horror read, and a remarkable study of organizational malfeasance commonly perpetrated in the name of survival.
