James Victor Jordan

This was a pretty difficult book for me to read. There were many aspects to it, which made it complicated for me to focus on. I lost focus easily, though it was an intriguing book. It was just hard to connect with at times.

The writing was fantastic. I really liked Jordan's writing style. Some of the descriptions, though graphic, were brilliant. It was easy to see exactly what you were reading for the most part. There were a few times in which I was lost and couldn't visualize the story, but it wasn't a common thing.

There were several characters, which was challenging to keep up with. I couldn't fully connect with any of them, but they were interesting nonetheless. I do think if I gave this book another shot sometime in the future and tried to fully focus on separating the characters, I'd like it a lot more.

The Speed of Life: An Illustrated Novel by James Victor Jordan
Wasn't sure what to expect after reading the synopsis of this book but thought I'd give it a try.
Very detailed descriptions of events that tie the crime with all the other stories in the book. At times they just appear to be a story but as the book goes along you realize they are all tied together.
So much information is divulged, like a piece of a puzzle as the whole thing is complete once you reach the last page.
Found it exciting at times, lots of action but other times sad and depressing because of the brutualness of an attack. Understand why it happened as the investigators try to solve the crimes.
Like colorful illustrations throughout the book.
Wasn't one of my favorite reads but has a lot of interesting educational stories about the area.
