For a nonfiction book, it read like a novel. I picked it up on the clearance rack at the bookstore, glad I did. It is a true store of John Resko who spent 19 years in prison during WWII. It shows how prision used to be and what you used to have to do in order to survive. Great story. I highly recommend it for a quick read.
