2.0 out of 5 stars A book in need of a good editor!, 7 Jan 2009
By Gary M (Lancashire) - See all my reviews
Although this book holds a little interesting information, overall it is a disappointing read. Its apparent lack of structure means that the particulars of human tragedy are presented as discrete episodes lacking in a theme or thread. There is little in the way of socio-cultural context so the crime and punishment episodes seem somewhat sensational or titillating. The tragic individuals (both perpetrator and victim) are rather two-dimensional. The language is repetitive as is the content at times when it seems that a further source is being drawn upon so the details are retold as if for the first time!

For a much more satisfying read try Kelly Grovier's The Gaol: The Story of Newgate or Tom Keneally's The Commonwealth of Thieves.

PS: I would give this book only 1 star but I don't seem to be able to change the above grading!
