This is another book that I'm not sure I can rate in the traditional sense. I enjoyed it, and it's very well-written, but the content just isn't something you can put a star count on.

I will say that if you are, like me, wanting to read more about Alcatraz, you may be a little disappointed in this book. It's Quillen's complete autobiography, and most of the Alcatraz portion is dedicated to the Battle of Alcatraz. The book is certainly still worth reading despite these things.
