. London: The Executioner's City
City Travel Guides > Books > Criminology
by: David Brandon, Alan Brooke
October 01, 2007
Adnittedly, I raced through this book and - true - it is filled with gruesome and fascinatingly morbid facts, which is what anyone buying this book presumably would want. However, something in it left me wanting. There were parts where it was simply listing case after case, paragraph upon paragraph,a little bit too breathlessly; such-and-such-a-person was convicted of stealing and was hanged at Tyburn in 17-- and so on and so forth. I felt that more substance was needed, more context, more analysis; more description of the ritual (what exactly does being "dragged on a hurdle" entail? How exactly were prisoners prepared? When reading, I had so many questions and it was just one case after another. A little simplistic and unsophisticated I felt ... Read More:

. The Executioner's Song (Arena Books)
City Travel Guides > Books > Criminology
by: Norman Mailer
August 15, 1991
This jaw-dropping book recieves less than flattering reviews because for some reason people want to be spoon-fed "answers" all the time to people like Gary Gilmore. What Mailer delivers instead is a truly outstanding feat of journalism, far surpassing any fiction, by painstakingly building Gilmores story from thousands of discrete, taut, unsentimental blocks of prose - allowing us to cement them together and giving us room to think for ourselves. Readers expecting Mailer to provide plot, climax, titillation, shocking details or answers as to "why" will rightly be bored, and have missed the point. Mailers neutral measured prose provides just the right angle of entry into a life that was devoid of plot and reason, just action and reaction. It is a clear ... Read More:

. Portrait of a Killer: Jack the Ripper - Case Closed
City Travel Guides > Books > Criminology
by: Patricia Cornwell
September 01, 2003
"Portrait of a Killer" is interesting, but as a serious Jack the Ripper investigation it's an absolute disgrace. Cornwell undertakes a total character assassination of the artist Walter Sickert - she even hints he may have harboured paedophilic tendencies -, without proving much other than that parts of his work reflect a certain disturbed mind.
A lot of the passages in the book are pure conjecture, based on logic rather than hard facts. There are lots of "if"s, "assuming that"s, "supposing thats", "had ... happened"s and "Sickert would have"s etc. throughout the book, and Cornwell constantly admits not knowing, or not having access to, certain facts, such as Sickert's whereabouts on given dates etc, and that she's unable to prove certain things. She's ... Read More:
