Book Review of Needle Work

Needle Work
Needle Work
Author: Fred Rosen
Genre: Nonfiction
Book Type: Mass Market Paperback


This book was hard for me to get into. The crack-smoking, drug dealing pair who killed two people just plain weren't interesting. I have read other books by Rosen and generally like his writing but this seemed as if he was as uninspired by the topic as I was reading it. Most of the book consisted of the interview(s) conducted with the female of the pair who is eager to get loose and 'return to her children.' I found myself praying she wouldn't. The vocabulary was very limited, and I found the description of the crime incoherent and scampering around in time. Just not enough material and people who were basically boring.
