Coffee & Crime - 1/12/09
*** According to Andrea Vogt in a special for the Seattle P.I., Amanda Knox (pictured left) is set to go to trial for the murder of Meredith Kercher this coming Friday in Perugia, Italy. Nothing against Kercher, but I am curious just how much coverage this case would garner if the alleged killer were not attractive.***Looks as if author Neale Donald Walsch will be having a different sort of conversation with God. According to Motoko Rich of the New York Times, the mega-successful spiritual author pilfered a heart-warming Christmas tale for a Christian website from author Candy Chand, even going so far as to say he convinced himself he had written the piece. Ahhhh, putting the sleaze back in Christmas.
Corey Mitchell is a best-selling author of several
true crime books, founder of In Cold Blog, a contributor at MetalSucks, and is feeling pretty good about his Pittsburgh Steelers today.Sunday, January 11, 2009

American Lightning Redux: ChrSciMon Likes Story, Not Book
One week ago I wrote about a scathing review of Howard Blum's Hollywood true crime book, American Lightning, that appeared in the Washington Post.Unfortunately for Blum, the Christian Science Monitor's Randy Dotinga's recent review was not much better. It least it was a bit nicer toward the author -- well, maybe less harsh would be the better phrase.
Dotinga raves about the actual story of the bombing of the Los Angeles Times building, but holds back on distributing praise Blum's way. He writes of the book that it "succeeds in spite of its flaws. Blum’s prose is a bit too breathless at times, and the lack of detailed sourcing makes it difficult to trust his descriptions of the thoughts crossing the minds of the characters."
Dotinga does commend Blum for "painting vivid portraits" of two of the three leads in the story. This is the only praise offered up for the entire book.
