Another great one
RJ Parker has done it again. This book is about serial killer Chris Dorner who decided to go on a rampage in California and kill innocent people. Reading this book and watching this particular episode on television was pretty awesome. The flow of the detailed information from start to finish in this book will have you saying "Wow, this guy is nuts." You will not be disappointed at all and also I would recommend this book for anyone to read.As you read you will see so much hate, racism and so much pain. Be prepared for a roller coaster ride because I loved it!!!

Interesting book, but could have explained a lot more , this was mostly just an overview of the news reports about this case.
This was an interesting book; but it did not meet my expectations about this book. There were a lot of questions about what really happened here, and also whether Christopher Dorner actually killed anyone or whether he was set up for some unknown reason. I followed this on the scanner when it was happening, and it was very obvious that the law enforcement intended to kill Dorner and not allow him to surrender, and just that alone makes me wonder about the whole incident. I was hoping for more than just a rehash of what was shown in the hews and on television.

Full of crap!
The book feeds the reader a bunch of crap towards the end. How racism & Dorners inability to cope with his damaged ego led to the killing of innocent people & officers. Chris Dorner was a slob & a horrible police officer, just ask the people who worked around him.

My Personal Review of the book - REVENGE KILLINGS / Chris Dorer
I've recently finished reading this book, and I found the story to be sad in how he perceived/mis-understood the actions of the LAPD as being directed at him personally, thus initiating his hatred of people, mainly towards fellow law enforcement personnel. Chris Dorner had gone through such devastating traumas and had experienced racial pre justice from his peers at the LAPD, and through the Navy's discriminations. They were actions that could make > A Sane Man may have experienced similar issues. The book was captivating from the first page. So, as far as a storyline, I would definitely say it was an A+ grading, top notch book and I'd recommend a person read it, BUT Pay close attention to the punctuation, and grammar content. For the author having a professional editing staff on board to assist, their editing quality sucks, BIG TIME. To Start, I will say = I am an AUTISTIC person, meaning I read extremely well, just a lot slower than a speed reader, or a professional editor, HOWEVER THAT BEING SAID = As good as the editing staff may well be, they read through manuscripts quickly, and almost on a daily basis, and I came across multiple errors within the first 50 pages (estimated) there were several areas where the author would be speaking about a singular event/situation, and the context had NO PUNCUATION MARKS / or poorly placed marks in many areas. Reading slower, and being OCD, I tend to catch a lot of TYPOS. I am a just a detailed reader, and I am a perfectionist. The editing staff really should take a few more seconds to read the content a little more clearly, it may provide a better understanding of what caused Chris to respond in the ways he did. It doesn't excuse away what he did, maybe why.

Very disjointed presentation of facts with a broader emphasis on racism
This book about Dorner raises some interesting questions about the LAPD and their heavy hand at pursuing cornering and ultimately killing Dorner. There seems to have been a coverup of both the excessive force Dorner accused his training officer of and the clear intention of the LAPD to make sure Dorner never was tried in a courtroom for his crimes. The facts the author presents make it clear the LAPD had appointed themselves judge and jury. They sentenced Dorner to death and they were going to execute him as soon as they caught up to him. I find that extremely disturbing, but its difficult to dispute, considering two separate incidents where police opened fire on autos that they just thought Dorner might be inside of.The book answers a lot of questions, but it is, for the most part about racism. Racism is examined in detail emphasizing the way it shapes the lives of people who are victims of it and those that perpetrate it.I cannot say that i liked the book very much. The biggest flaw was the way the author skipped all over the place and seemingly forgot his audience. It was extremely disjointed and not at all enjoyable to read. It gave insight to who Dorner was and why he acted in the ways that he did. What it didnt do was present the information in a way that was logical or even readable.This was more like notes from a research paper that hadn't been sorted or organized yet. Very dry reading

Excellent read
This is another excellent book by R. J. Parker about Chris Dorner, Chris was a former LAPD officer who was fired for trying to do the right thing. Things go rapidly downhill from there with a very sad outcome. The book has been well researched and is very well written. I remember when this case happened and I learned a lot of details that I was previously unaware of. I highly recommend this book.

Wow.
I was familiar with the Chris Dorner case, but only after the LAPD was looking for him. I had no idea of the things that had happened before the manhunt. This book tells you what led up to the ultimate downfall of Chris Dorner. I am now on apprehensive on what happened. I don't want to give away any details, but this book is a must read! It will leave you scouring the internet for any piece of information you can find on this case, and all the players involved. Definitely buy this book!!!!

Disturbingly Sad
I really enjoyed this book and found it quite insightful due to the fact that Chris Dorner was a victim himself of the LAPD. It's a shame that he was railroaded to the point of murder. If you have not been living in a cave then you know the history of the LAPD. I truly wish Dorner had sought psychological help before he went on a rampage killing innocent people. Lastly, it makes me quite angry that the authorities decided to kill him by burning down the house.

Interesting read
As a U.K. resident, I didn't actually know about Chris Dorner and this book tells the story without going into too much detail(with exception of the rather graphic pictures) and rather than zero in on just the Dorner story it pulls in snippets of what happened when other perpetrators were coloured as opposed to non coloured and the police handling - i.e. The coloured perpetrators fared much worse (all dead rather than captured) and this book raises the question of prejudice in the police department. Food for thought.

Very short matter of fact telling of a sacked LAPD officer after he made a complaint about his training officer. I'm sure I've never heard of this incident so really can't say what may be truth and what may not be. The only person who knows is the person who lived it.I think it could have possibly been more in depth as I felt as if a lot may have been left out. Either because the information wasn't available or it just wasn't known at all. Good wee read though considering its subject.

Boring
I found it rather boring and I couldn't wait to finish so I could read something else. Maybe it just wasn't for me I don't know
