Book Review: Life In Prison
Summary: 5 Stars
As a boy, that was in elementary school Tookie Williams heard the older kids who'd served time tell stories that made top-security prison sound fascinating and entertaining, a place to hang out with your friends and prove how well-built you were. But now, after 23 years on San Quentin's death row for the murders of four people, Tookie Williams now knows that prison "is no place you'd ever want to be." In this slim volume, he explains why: the restricted quarters, lack of freedom and privacy, homesickness, violence and daily strip searches, having to use the toilet in public. Williams often goes beyond simple sketch, asking readers to visualize his experiences, to get a feel for what it's like to live in a prison cell. The book Tell the main idea: That younger children stay away from Tookie Williams path of Death row.Book Review: REST IN PEACE
Summary: 5 Stars
The topic I'm using is the book that Stanley "Tookie" Williams wrote about his life in prison. The way I feel about the book is that it is excellent. I think the book is excellent because he tells you how it is in prison. He say "prison is one place you wouldn't want to go. A lesson to learn in prison is just don't go. You shouldn't want to go because all you can ever do is eat, play basketball and work, and sleep(also lift weights). When I say eat I don't mean Bojangles or any fast food restaurant I mean "slop" everyday. Also because you can get hurt in prison by the guards and other inmates. Well for people who want to see what prison is like read this article and read the book.

Book Review: Life In Prison
Summary: 5 Stars
The book Life In Prison is a good book, it tells you a lot about the prison and how they live in there. This is a book that may lead some kids to do to do the right thing, some kids may even change how they act. Some people may say the book has changed their life, but some people might even say the book made their life a mess. The book is about life in prison and how lockdown can mess somebody's life up and make them think clearer sometimes. This book was a good book way to change a person's life and maybe even get them going on the right path. The book was Stanley "Tookie" Williams way of telling kids to straighten up their lives and not join a gang and follow in the footsteps of a gangbanger and end up in jail or worse, killed.

Book Review: Life in Prison
Summary: 5 Stars
This book has shown me what life in prison is all about. He talks about the strip-search and the people, the food that they serve you, and about how awful your cell is, and your visiting hours, and your clothes, and the way they treat you.
Tookie talks about the hole, the hole is where you break any rules and rules are very different there. Some people stay in the hole for years at a time for attacking a guard or something like that.
Life in Prison is a good book, I liked it, and I recommend it to everybody. If I wanted to tell you everything I would have to write a whole book and I don't have time for that. But I hope if you read this book Life in Prison, you like it and it helps you.
Book Review: Seen The Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I haven't read the book, but I am going to search the nearest store for it. Even though it's said "Tookie" may have killed 4 people, his movie, played by Jamie Fox, touched my heart to believe Stanley is trying or has already changed His life to pattern His ways as a Man of God. I have and always will follow the path of God as so will my Mother, who is a pastor and has been for 17 years. I strongly believe Stanley has tried to make a change in His life and is truely sorry for ALL the wrong He has done over the years of His youth. I know of several youth at the time, now going older in prison, started out similar to the way Stanley started His life of hate against not having a father, drugs, and fighting.
