Naked As A Jailbird: An Illuminating Read

By Debra Nelson


Some people love to read books that are written in a journalistic style. This is exactly what you'll get when you buy this book, and chances are you will be pleased with what you get. Naked as a Jailbird is certainly a journalistic account, and it has everything you might be looking for in this genre.

The main point behind this book is to inform the reader of the real goings-on behind bars for those who have just entered the penitentiary system. This is a highly unique and oftentimes highly volatile situation to be in, and so it is something that everyone should really know about. In that way, the author of this book Richard Shaw is doing a valuable public service.

You might be surprised to find out what it is really like in prisons across the country. You may have thought that you knew everything about it simply because you read, watched, or heard about it on the news and thought that was good enough information to be fully informed. However, there are many news sources as well as media outlets and countless others ways that the public is shepherded into believing things that just aren't true.

The way that Shaw wrote this book is not in the most elegant prose you can think of. This actually makes it seem more gritty and realistic, rather than polished and refined. The latter type of prose would probably make his writing seem ingenuine and even as if he was trying to hide something, which is the very opposite of his aim in this book.

It is a good idea to look up other things that this author has written if you like this book. He has many other works that cover different topics. It is likely that if you enjoyed what you read in this book, you'll like these other pieces as well.

Sometimes it is just not enough to read a book all by yourself. If the work is good enough, you'll want to share it with others. That is the big reason why many people choose to read in a book club.

It's easy to order these types of books online, and one of the best parts about doing things this way is that more than likely, you will not even have to leave your house or get out of bed to take care of this. Many small towns are experiencing the closing down of their bookstores because things like Amazon are driving them out of business. If this is the case and there is no other option, if you can't beat them, join them.

Sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself to learn more about this book and what it's about is to read what people are saying. This is easy when you just click through the many reviews that people leave on the different websites you can order from. The most important thing to do is to make sure that you read as many of these as possible, as it is otherwise possible to be misled by one person's biased opinion.
