Summary: Walking in the Crime Scene Investigators Shoes
Comment: This novel is best read by someone that already has a very basic, technical knowledge of the mechanics of forensic work, but anyone that enjoys watching CSI will be fascinated by the book. I recently finished a basic course in Criminalistics and this book is putting all the mechanics of forensic work into actual use. Mr. Ragle breaks everything down into steps,such as from first on the scene to the end of the crime scene investigation using real cases, and explains why it's done that way. Very Easy Reading, Very Fascinating and Very Informative!
Rating: 3
Summary: Good book but...
Comment: The book is good, except that it could have used an index, to look up certain concepts, e.g., gun shot residue (GSR), and DNA; as well as a glossary of these terms. Perhaps, the author will consider these for a revised edition. Otherwise, helpful in understanding the "science" behind programs like "CSI" and the soon to be "CSI Miami". (That's why I didn't give it 5 stars-lack of the above-mentioned.)
.. I'd still recommend the book. However, in case my later review didn't make it in Mr. Ragle's criticism of CSI, unfairly, categorizes the producers of the show, and the actors, as not following "true" scientific methods, according to him. They may take a bit of "creative license" but the forensics are (fairly) sound. So, that's why I lowered my rating by another star.
Rating: 5
Summary: Great Book!
Comment: This is one of the best books i have ever read! I am planing to go in to the career field of forensic science and this book was great. It gives a brief description of the mojority of the common tasks done by a forensic scientist. Very well written and easy to read! I recomend it to anyone who is interested in science because everything in this book can be related to everyday life.
