A Matter of Time Jul 07, 2008
This is an unbelievable true story. Few books are written from the inmate's perspective. It is a "must read" for all, especially anyone in or retired from law enforcement
Amazing story! Jul 03, 2007
I couldn't put the book down! What an amazing story about how someone got trapped at the dark side and couldn't get out, even when he wanted to. His description about life in jail made me feel like I was trapped in there right next to him. If you know people who are at the edge of being thrown in jail, give this book to them, and Don's story may scare them into turning their lives around.
I had the privilege to meet the author in person. He is the most humble, laid-back, and friendly person I've ever met. If you enjoy this book, please come back and write a nice review here.

The moral of the story? A very strong one... Jun 21, 2006
This is a story about a man who after reaching bottom decides to dig out. But not alone, not just himself. He decides to dig out as many others he can.
Written in a fast paced, Robert Loodlum-speed drama, this book takes the reader through the life of Don Kirchner, from one struggle to the next, reaching the very bottom, but with an ultimate triumph at the end. A true story, and as another reviewer pointed out, an instant classic.

A Great Achievement... Nov 20, 2000
I met Don Kirchner almost 5 years ago when he handed me his most current draft of the book. I couldn't put it down. I was thrilled with the drama and action of his true story. Being a pilot myself I was intrigued with the danger and suspense involved in the flying aspect of the tale. The further I read, the more I was remined of how delicate and tenious our lives really are. Don's ability to deal with and overcome these challanging situations is what impresses me most about "A Matter of Time". This book is a great read and I highly recommend it.

How to Stay Up All Night Nov 19, 2000
What a trip! No one could imagine what prison is like without reading this...and how the author grew and evolved during this experience is nothing short of inspiring. This book is written in such a compelling manner that I felt like I was living it myself. In addition to the joy, love, fear and the gamut of emotions experienced, I came away with a lesson about how we create the manner in which we experience our lives in a way that I could easily adapt to my own life. Of course, it kept me up several nights since I read it word for word so that I could hear and feel what I was reading. I feel that this book will become a classic.
