Why I Wanted to Read Forty Days

Mr. Simon: This was one of the best written books I have ever had the grace to read. I have seen you cover stories all over the world, but this was by far the best. I know that being the story was harder and watching the story but you covered it like no other person could have. Reading "Forty Days" made me realize that there are people in the world who hurt others just for the fun of it. The way you described the prison was like I was sitting there next to you and seeing all this happen, even though it was happening to you. It took me 2 days to read this wonderful book. Please write another one of your life, up to now. You seem to be a very interesting person. By the way I watch you on 60 minutes every chance it get.
