Customer Reviews

The book to read on Stroud

This is a thoroughly research piece of work and effectively dispels the mythology surrounding Robert Stroud. The author writes in a lively and engaging style. As other reviewers note, though, the work is much in need of editing. It features occasional incorrect word usage, mistakes in punctuation and problems in sentence structure. These are particularly notable in the book's early chapters. Despite these flaws, it's an empirically sound work that will answer your questions about the sad case of Robert Stroud.

Awesome investigative book on the life of Robert Stroud

I bought the book while on a tour at Alcatraz and it's very hard to put down! Anyone interested in Pyschology and Criminal Justice should read this book!

Birdman : The Many Faces of Robert Stroud (Review)

A very enjoyable book. I thought it was very well researched and kept my sharp interest from cover to cover! I would highly recommend this book to other readers interested in reading an exceptional nonfictional biography on the real Birdman of Alcatraz.

A great in depth look at the Birdman from Alcatraz

This book, chosen for my psychology class is a great one. It offers a look at Robert Stroud's life before, during, and after his time was served at Alcatraz. It proved that he is NOT only a murderer that served time but that he truly believed that the prison was serving him time. It is an excellent book about history, psychology and a man of many identities. A must read but not the best book in the world.
