Summary: Running With Bonnie and Clyde: The Ten Fast Years of Ralph
Comment: Great book! There are footnotes all throughout the book to let the reader know where the author got his information. It reads like a novel yet the information seems a little more acurate than most nonfiction books since most of his writings come directly from interviews with the ones involved. Since the book was published all of the people involved are dead, so this is the end of the personal information. After reading this book one can understand why this couple went so wrong, and why they are America's most notorius outlaws.
Rating: 4
Summary: Good to the Last Page
Comment: This is the story of a criminal in the 1930's who was part of the Barrow gang, and whom we've previously heard little if any about. Though a good part of the book is about his time spent with Bonnie and Clyde, it's also about his own career in crime and the atrocities of the Texas prison system of the era. The book is well written and also very well researched. The author is to be applauded for his extensive list of resources. Mr. Fults, the ex-gang member, does put a sympathetic spin on Barrow and Parker. But he was there, and he got to know them in a different way than a lawman or reporter. The book contains some good photos, many which were new to me. Well done!

Summary: The stories Ralph Fults told me. Personally!
Comment: I live in Dallas, and everyone has a Bonnie & Clyde story. I was always curious about outlaws, but only by reading about them. I met Ralph Fults when I was about 14. I believe he worked as a security guard at the Buckner Orphanage. I was there occasionally when our soccer team would play on the Orphanages grounds. He would tell these stories that seemed like some movie. Some detail though reminded me of stories my moms best friend had told us. I always figured he was full of hot air. Years later I read an article in Dallas' Parade section of a News Paper. It was that man I had heard tell so many stories. I then asked my moms friend about her childhood. Turns out she had grown up across the street and down 2 houses from Bonnie. She was always fetching oranges and whatever fruit to send with the gang when they'd leave Dallas. There were a couple of photos she showed me with all these people in a Basment or cellar where they'd visit and hideout. The Basement/cellar location had been my biggist memory from my mothers friend. What she recalled fit perfectly with Ralph Fults' recollections. After reading this book and having heard some these storie years ago, Ralph's memory hasn't seemed to change. I would put his view on Clyde, Bonnie, Buck, and the running from the law above most for a realistic idea on what it was like to barely survive in those times and why they chose the path they chose.
