Summary: Crime is not a pretty picture....
Comment: True Crime has always interested me;particulayly what made these criminals tick.There,s lots of speculation about their thinking;but never many resolutions;particularly with the loners.This book was very disapointing.the text was very poor,disjointed and difficult in connecting with the photos.If this book shows anything,it is that the photography was much better in the past than recent times.Sure, there was some pretty gruesome stuff,but there is more to the art of crime photography than presented in this book.Before buying ,I would suggest giving it a pretty good look over.I was quite surprised by the high reviews this book received;however,considering the background of the authors;maybe it is a better book for the insiders of crime photography.But then,who do they do this work for,themselves or others? the old adage that a picture is worth a thousand words doesn't hold here.Most shots are like snapshots taken by amateurs who just happen to be passing and took a shot.

Summary: Holy Sh*t!!
Comment: I was in Media Play with my ex-boyfriend and 2 of our friends one night and we were looking (well, okay...running) around in the books section getting sex books off of the shelves and yelling out positions. I was getting bored and started walking around looking for something to do, when I saw a book with 2 dead bodies on the cover with "SHOTS IN THE DARK" as the title caption. I skimmed through the book and was shocked as hell. Not only because the photos were very in-your-face, but because I would've never guessed that Gail Buckland could get so much information on the gorey pictures. When I saw the passages about John List, Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, The Buther of Clarksburg, and John F. Kennedy's autopsy photos, I was covinced to buy this book. I showed my ex and our friends and after purchasing the book, we couldn't put it down. I gave the book 4 stars because you will more than likely get sick of the book. I recommend this one to the Freaks and the Juggalos. Later y'all!

Summary: WHEN SHOTS RING OUT-PHOTOGRAPHERS SHOOT BACK
Comment: SHOTS IN THE DARK is a book that takes you into the world of crime-and its not pleasent!
...P>The start is kind of boring-with the writer telling us all about crime-who cares about that-we wanna see some dead bodies!
Some of the pictures in this book are kind of gory and gross-especially JFK laying on a table with his brains showing.
YUCK!
The cover of this book-with two dirty-bloodied male corpses laying in an elevator makes you think-where did they get shot?
I kind of dont and do wanna know!
I would reccomend this book to anyone who is a crime nut-and is into photography-this is the book for you!
THERES TOO MANY BODIES-ITS NOT ENOUGH ROOM-EVERYBODY OUT OF THE WATER!
