Customer Reviews

educational book to read

If you are a parent and are reading this review, do not laugh, for I am over the age of 9-12. One of my daughters love to ready history and biography, and she brought this book home. After looking at the cover, I thought "hmmm interesting.J.Edgar Hoover." I picked up and read and thougth "cool book." This book sum up the life of J.Edgar Hoover. The summary fulfilled my curiosity of J.Egar Hoover and his life as a director of BI and how he asked the Government to confrimed it as FBI. The captures of crimininals were short and they moved my interest to reading more of the captures and the crimininals. J.Edgar Hoover described in this book as a power hunger person, but yet, extremely hard working person. A little of a brown noser, but a clever and hard working person.
