Book Reviews of Blue Desert
Book Review: Blue Desert too slow, drags
Summary: 3 Stars
This book contains information relating to the author's own experiences as a newspaper reporter. I feel if he would have stuck to the some of the practices he was constricted in that venue the book would have been a better read. One particular instance where he writes of going to CA to follow up on a homicide suspect, was either out of place or didn't provide enough info for it to fit.
I am aware of another book he has written and am planning to purchase it. My brother who likes this author tells me it is a better read. So I am going to buy it. If you don't know the Sonoran Desert (Bowden can "plant" an experience in your mind) read Desert Blue, if you do know it, as I do being an Arizona Native it drags.
