Customer Reviews Rating: - OUTDATED! OUTDATED!! OUTDATED!!!
This book is well written, but quite outdated. It provides interesting details of cases we've all heard about through the media and includes information on obscure cases, as well. An interesting read, although it could've been longer. It's quite short. It's MUCH better than David Fisher's Hard Evidence, so don't waste your time on that one.
Rating: - Wonderful Reading
I could not put this book down. I read it in a 24 hour period. It is absolutely fascinating. A great one for crime and science buffs.
Rating: - Excellent book!!!
A great book!! One of my all time favorites that easily explains complex situations and extremely compilcated medical jargon into a everyday conversation!! Great stories!! Mr Baden has a gift for allowing the reader to understand the trumatic events and terrible crimes we human- beings inflict on one another! Understanding the forensics science involved can surely overwhelm the common individual but not in this book as we learn from Mr. Baden! I would not hesitate to both endorse and encourage any one to read this book for themselves and not walk away disappointed! In my 9 years in L.A.County Cornoner's Office as a volunteer Forensic tech, I am more than happy to ask that Mr. Baden write at least another book to follow up this masterpiece!!
Rating: - A definite page-turner
Though Baden is obviously not a writer and some possibly interesting leads are not followed through, this book would not let itself be put down. A gripping combination of politics, crime investigation and medicine. For those with a morbid curiosty in Chris Carter style. This one-weekender may be a good start to the genre.
Rating: - Unatural death
I believe that it gives the reader a chance to get to see what really happens to your body after a person dies. I know that it very interesting to be able to read all of these different stories, and to be able to read the truth. Some fictional writers blow eveything out of proportion,and it scares the witts out of people. I on the other hand to get down to the bare facts. I also like reading fiction novels. Only when it comes to something that you know does not happen in real life.
