This review is from: The Fbi's Most Wanted (Crime, Justice and Punishment) (Library Binding)

The FBIs Most Wanted is a graphic book explaining in detail how some crimes were committed which is written by Laura DAngelo about the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI), how it was started by Edgar J. Hoover, and how the top ten most wanted list was started in the fifties in part by an news reporter. There are also many short stories on some of the popular or more known criminal in the last half century that have made the top ten most wanted list. You should not buy this book unless you are really in to the FBI. If you dont believe me and still are considering buying this book dont borrow it from a library or a friend because youll be wasting your money. When reading The FBIs Most Wanted you can expect to be bored with many stupid facts and the only thing I found interesting was how the top ten list was started. It was started partially by a news reporter asking the director who the top ten most dangerous people in the country were?
