Yaaay! The only book I need for class that I could find online was the one book that I want to read *now* and not have to return and wait for a cheaper book, despite the less than kind reviews from readers at Amazon.com.

Henry Lee's Crime Scene Handbook

Amazon.com's reviewers are usually people who wish to seem smarter than they really are by bashing stuff. Even if they do know what they're talking about, you will want to read the book (dissapointing or not) untill you do read it, so go for it! *pumps fist in the air*

Yeah...I know, I'm odd. Plus it's about 1:30 in the morning...I am so going to have to drink a whole pot of coffee tomorrow morning. *sigh*

I KNOW! They're all so high and mighty! Henry Lee is like...what Einstein is to physics, Henry Lee is to forensics. They're like, "I was a beat cop for three weeks back in 1957 and this book is full of drabble. Nerr."

You just need to have a little respect for people who *really* know what they're doing. Maybe the negative reviewers don't know who he is or something...Whatever...

Ugh, I totally agree. But that's not even the worst part! They do that with every genre of literature on the website! It could even be, like, "Fluffy's Big Day" and someone would write, "I felt the part of the Big Bad Gardener was totally pretention. I mean, it was so OBVIOUS that his pitchfork represented his manhood, and the way he wielded it? Please." Know what I'm saying?

Unless of course you manage to get that rare book/ep you've been dying to get your hands on for a really sweet price. ;-)

Yeah, but you'll still trash it because you could have done better.
