Customer Reviews

Peace, happiness and justice are inseparable...

We must never forget that each one of us holds the key in making this world a better place to live in. It is in fact our moral obligation to be active in not only looking at our self-interest but in doing what is right for all of us. Our own happiness in inseparable from the happiness of others around us and that is the essence of life. Only by walking on the path of justice and with a strong urge to seek the truth can we get there. And we must not let any one stand in the way since history will then judge us all as being as much accountable as those who block our way...

Justice

All of the characters have a defined personality. You know where they came from, what they feel and can get a sense of why they act the way they do. I think it's a wonderful idea to write a preface just to describe the characters. Now in the book he can get right to the point of the story.

Read this book!

One of the best regional books I have read. Watson is an extremely skilled author with the ability to vividly evoke a time or place, seemingly effortlessly. 'Outside the Jurisdiction' is probably the best story in the book. Watson depicts the harsh and brutal life many westerners lived in the early part of the twentieth century. I can't recommend this book highly enough.
