Intriguing Expose of a Thief,
By
This review is from: Thief : The bizarre Story of Fugitive Financier Martin Frankel (Hardcover)
I thoroughly enjoyed J.A. Johnson's aptly titled book. Too many in the media seemed to have glorified Martin Frankel as a sort of folk hero, but "Thief" clearly demonstrates that Frankel was nothing but a thief who victimized many people and didn't earn a single of the perks he enjoyed for so long, those privileges which are normally reserved for people who work hard and create things of value to society. Mr. Frankel only took and took and took, and hopefully he will eventually get the punishment he deserves.

Poor Effort,
By A Customer
This review is from: Thief : The bizarre Story of Fugitive Financier Martin Frankel (Hardcover)
The Frankel story is truly incredible, but not Mr. Johnson's effort. This book was obviously a rushed effort to be "first to publish". A few interviews with some of Frankel's "girls" and former employees and cronies that chose to work and take money from this disgusting thief doesn't make a best seller. The remainder of the book is filled with inaccuracies that could have been easily corrected/verified with a little effort and reviewing public records (shame on his editor). I hope the next Frankel book is better than this example of supermarket tabloid reporting.

Thrilling true crime...,
By Jo (Evergreen, Colorado) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Thief : The bizarre Story of Fugitive Financier Martin Frankel (Hardcover)
Joe A. Johnson, Jr., a talented author and journalist, has couched his book, " Thief : The bizarre Story of Fugitive Financier Martin Frankel " very much in the way of the good, short detective novels I used to read as a younger girl, where justice come swift and sure."Thief" is a short but particularly effect read that intercuts between J.Johnson's journalistic fact appraoch and serious literary intent. With J.Johnson's magnetizing pearls of phrase, "Thief" is tightly knitted together by the author's extreme, intense atmosphere of personal preception and his extensive, intimate knowledge of the actual facts of the story to be quickly unwound by the reader in a chilling, unbelieveable true crime thriller involving sex, death and high white collar crime by a sociopathical, international "Thief." Get it. It's good.
