Awesome research!  Hard to tell fact from fiction!

When reading this, it's easy to see the incredible amount of time that was spent on research.  The authors did a remarkable job of keeping my interest throughout the entire book.  I also found it entertaining that they explained in detail the origins of things (fact or fiction?) that we take for granted everyday - ie. Maxwell House Coffee.  As you read through this, they will become subtly obvious.  I was told by one of the authors that each chronicle was long, but when I started reading it, I couldn't put it down and I was finished with it.  I am eagerly looking forward to the second and third chronicle.  Great job, David & Penelope.

I really enjoyed reading this book and finished it in two days!  Hard to believe something like this really happened.  The author did a lot of research and the story was well written.  I highly recommend!

I got the Kindle version of this book because it looked interesting and was priced at .99 cents. What a bargain, right?
Absolutely!
I was totally impressed by Steve Hodel's research into this subject. This has to be one of the hardest things anyone has ever done; suspect your father is a notorious killer involved in the most sensational crime in L.A. history, gather the evidence and then tell the world about it.
The book was well thought out, well documented and very well presented. No one escaped scrutiny, the LAPD, the "Hollywood" legends, his family or his father's friends whether famous or not.
It sent me to the computer more that a few times to Google some of the people refered to in the book.
I agree with Johnny Depp, this book is absolutely fascinating!

This is definitely an excellent work of research, so why only three stars rather than the five stars it deserves? Because there are no footnotes, no references! Unbelievably in a book so well-researched, the author gives no sources, at least not in the Kindle version, nor, it appears, in the print version. As a result, much of this appears as "allegation" rather than documented facts, because it isn't DOCUMENTED. This is a mega-tragedy and a major flaw for a book that deserves to be read and taken seriously. But the author appears not to have taken his own work seriously enough to give the reader his sources (where possible).
On the positive side, the writing is dramatic and engaging and even convincing, despite the fact that we can't necessarily take anything he writes here as fact since we can't verify anything other than on the basis of the author's own authority. Too bad.

Solid research and great material!  The author has a annoying habit of writing out every statistic to the month and day.  Other wise a very informative novel.  I have read and researched a lot about John XXIII, but there were a few things in this book that I did not know about before.

I loved reading this book. I found Parfitt's study very intriguing and his ability to link clues together fascinating.  I am just curious why he left his treasure where it was for others to fight over...why didn't he take it where other scholars could study it?  There is much detailed information in the first chapters. Towards the end, just when the story is heating up, he seems to end the book abruptly.

However, still a fascinating read! I highly recommend!

This DVD was a real eye opener for me, and revealed some facts I never had known before about the Bible. Fascinating information and terrific research! Well done!! It doesn't take sides and doesn't play favorites. It just tells it like "it is."

Wow. If this book were a novel, I think it might be dismissed as implausible.  Yet sadly, the account of the meteoric rise and staggering demise of an executive at one of America's largest companies is all too true.  The twists and turns are incredible!  Very, very well written and painstakingly researched.
If you are looking for a book for a hard to please fan of whodunits or suspense fiction, this will serve you well.  I wish there were more than five stars!

Great read! I work in research myself... if only I were so lucky to get to research something so pleasurable!

This is quite unique twist on what I considered to be "Ancient Rome". Well, Ms. Storrs has greatly enlightened me. I knew nothing of the Etruscan culture or society which is embarrassing as my ancestors are from that region of Italy! The research that the author did for this book is apparent in every page. There is a lot of terminology that I was unfamiliar with and having bought the Kindle version I didn't realize that there was a glossary until I finished the book! So reader, keep that in mind and enjoy a truly educational trip back in time.

The author has really done his research on this one, combining truth with captivating fiction. I will definitely read more books in this series!

Indeed a thoroughly  research! the reason I do not give five stars it is because theres no way yet to Irrefutably proof what the author says; nevertheless I am considering all good tips and suggestions.
Great job, thanks!

This is a hard series to read because it is so factual!  The author has done a lot of research and explains so many specific situations - wars and conflicts you never studied in high school history, because they were too devastating and cold blooded.  In light of all the violence going on in the United States today, I wish everyone would at least read this book.  It gave me a lot of insight into where different factions are coming from.  I would love to talk to the author!

Don't let the provocative title scare you away, this is actually a very well researched book that breaks down several myths regarding getting fit and staying healthy. I was very surprised at the level of research that went into the this book and Mike does a good job of breaking all the studies down and making them accessible for general readers. And if your  doubting anything he has to say, you can go ahead and refer to the very expansive list of sources in the back.

Overall there is a ton of information here, but I can't help but feel like some of the way the research is presented is slightly skewed.
