This book is very well written and easy to read. Mr. Quillen provides us with the details of his life including his ten years at Alcatraz and his life afterwards. While reading about his time at Alcatraz I felt like I was there as he described things so vividly. I was most impressed by the part about his life after prison. We learn about the struggles he faces to find a job but how he was able to change his life around.
