 A waste of time and money. Jan 20, 2010
By CooMan
Combine the authors' bad research, faulty inductive logic, misreading of police reports, and general bad taste, and what you have is a total waste of time. These guys should be writing fiction, but they don't have the talent.
What would be interesting is the "noir" tale of Bruce Anderson's involvement with Jim Jones and his right hand henchman Timothy Stoen back in the 1970's. Anderson maintained a group home for black teenagers at the same time Jones was recruiting blacks from the inner city for his suicide cult. During that time Anderson shot at his teenage inmates with a pellet gun.
Anderson's friendship with Stoen - who was an Assistant District Attorney in Mendocino County while he was also the "Peoples Temple" Attorney of Record - survives to this day. Stoen is still employed by the Mendocino County District Attorney's office. And Anderson still plies his trade of slander, liable and yellow journalism.
These guys don't have what it takes to tell the truth. Don't waste your time or money on this piece of trash.

 Not the best writing in the world... Dec 21, 2009
By Spyrocker
...but incredibly good if you are from Mendocino County and know the characters involved. I cannot imagine anyone who does not already have a fairly good understanding of Mendocino phenomena being much interested in slogging through this.
