Is reading a CD convenient?,
By A Customer
This review is from: Crime Talk (CD-ROM)
I have to agree with other reviews about this book/CD. I'm not sure how convenence could even figure into the whole thing. Seems like a paperback would be a lot easier, you can fold the pages donwn to mark your spot, so what's the idea behind it? I didn't really care for reading interviews. It reminded me of having to read transcripts or acts in a play. I like books to be a little more enjoyable. If I want facts, there's always the newspaper or the history section at the public library.

Did not like the book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Crime Talk (CD-ROM)
I did not like the book at all. It was full of interviews, which are rather boring. It was full of repeated facts, which are also boring. I might say it was full of name dropping, too, just for effect. What could have been something of public interest turned out to be just rather boring!

Crime "Talk"?,
By Brian (NYC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Crime Talk (CD-ROM)
An attempt at a reiteration of conversations? A take-off on 'He Said, She Said'? I found this about as interesting as I used to find books written in the first person. If I had known that I was going to have to wade through dry, brittle facts, and boring conversations, I'd have gone to a standard textbook library. If I still had the copy, I believe it would be up for sale again right here. Thank you very much.
