Customer Review: If you want to read a book about RFK’s murder then read this one.
I bought this book a while back at a local book store and I was blown away by how well researched this book was. I highly recommend this book to anyone researching the death of RFK. Just fasten your seatbelt first.
Customer Review: Objective history
This is a history of the strangest assassination that you could imagine. It looked like an open and shut case. The LAPD made darn sure that those looks stayed that way. In spite of the objectivity, it becomes clear that there is more to this assassination, and cover up, than meets the eye. The case seems quite strong that there were more bullets fired than Sirhans gun could hold. All of the shots into Kennedy were identified as entering from the rear. Sirhan was in front of Kennedy. The fatal shot was placed within inches of Kennedy’s head. The LAPD ripped the pantry apart and destroyed the evidence while doing so. A photographers camera was seized at gun point, actually six LAPD cops at gun point. All of the photos from inside the pantry were not returned. There is a shady hypnotist with a proclaimed CIA past and an even shadier preacher man who went to the LAPD on the following day and claimed to have met Sirhan strictly via picking him up as a hitch hiker on the day of the assassination. The preacher has a law record as long as your forearm and it is proved that he had known Sirhan for a considerable amount of time. The allegation that he had previously bought clothes for Sirhan will make you rub your eyes. The biggest story is that he suddenly had a nice Lincoln and was flashing up to thirty $1000 bills about the time of the assassination. This in spite of constantly being broke before the event. There are LAPD members with CIA connections who squeezed in some side work in Latin America. One may wonder if their “other” employment was that of “jackals” (hitmen). Then you have the well built lady with the funny nose and the polka dot dress, and her partner, that is reputed to have ran from the scene yelling that they had just shot Kennnedy. They had recently entered the building via the fire escape stair case that is attached to the rear of multi-level buildings. Sirhan had also been warned by a friend to quit placing himself under hypnosis so much. If you think this all seems pretty strange, get ready for more. Then consider that the books were ordered destroyed by fire shortly after publication. This assassination deserved a lot more investigation. At least we got a serious effort from the authors.

Customer Review: Just when you thought they couldn’t get better-they did.
After a four year interlude since Lo que te conte….. in 2003, La Oreja de Van Gogh have come back and they are on incredible form.If you lived thier previous albums you will LOVE ‘Guapa’. By using sucessful elements of thier highly acclaimed previous album ‘Lo que te conte…’aswell as new and innovative techniques La Oreja have created another masterpiece. Its the kind of album that if you liked thier previous works will grow on you fast after you’ve listened to each song several times. The best songs in my opinion are Dulce Locura, Manhattan, Perdida and Muneca de Trapo. Amaias voice is a breath of fresh air in a music world so often void of any real emotion. Innovative, startling, refreshing and 100% worth buying, if you love Spanish pop/rock then you will LOVE this album. They do not disappoint!
Customer Review: Great new album from Spain’s finest band
Once again La Oreja De Van Gogh have produced a top-notch album combining elements of everything that’s good about Spanish pop music. As with their other releases, the lyrics are great, the songs are very catchy and yet it doesn’t feel like the predictable Euro pop you may expect such a band to resemble. I don’t think it quite matches up to their previous album, “Lo Que Hac?a..” but that’s only because such a masterpiece was going to be virtually impossible to improve upon. They have, however, acquired a more mature sound without making any drastic changes, especially when compared with their first two albums. I find it too difficult to say which songs stand out because they are all great. It’s just a shame the band aren’t well known in the UK, because they are a hell of a lot better than most bands here.
