Black Bird

De: James Keene, Hillel Levin

Narrado por: Robertson Dean

James Keene had it all: cars, girls, houses up and down the Gold Coast. But behind his well-connected star athlete façade was a money-obsessed drug dealer desperate to make the big score to get him out of the business. When he was sentenced to prison, it seemed the only lessons he would learn would be about navigating convict society. Instead, he was offered a chance to regain his freedom in return for going undercover in the nation’s highest security prison for the criminally insane. His task: to get friendly with Larry Hall, a mentally unbalanced serial rapist and murderer, and obtain his confession. For nearly a year, Keene walked the line between the part he played and the self he hoped to redeem, all the while dodging punches from deranged inmates, currying favor with imprisoned Mafia dons, and staying beneath the radar of Larry’s oddly protective psychiatrist.

awesome!!!!

I loved this book the way it was written to the way it was read.... I didn't put it down.... til the end.. just now...

Interesting

Overall not bad, it’s a good story. Easy to listen to when distracted…able to maintain the gist of what was going on.

book review

much better than the show on Netflix. I recommend you read before watching the show.

Better than the TV series.

I don’t get why they made all of the changes for TV. It didn’t really add or take away from anything. It’s just as riveting a story already.

Great book!!

Awesome book that is over before you know it ..very good! Great read!!! Definitely recommend!

Disappointing

Not enough about their interaction. Felt let down when it was over. Can’t love them all.

Gripping

A "page turner". Well written and spell binding. Story kept my attention all the way.

Fantastic

A definite recommend. What an incredible life Jimmy Keene has lived. Wonderful book & worth the listen.

Really kept my interest

Story was told really well. I highly recommend. I liked book better than movie which changed a few things, I preferred better staying with facts which were actually more interesting and suspenseful. the narrator felt a bit dry until I got used to the voice.

Great performance. Decent story.

The writing was a little weak, but the performance kept me listening to the end.
