Reviews
"A page-turner, as compelling and evocative as the finest novel. The best book on prison I've ever read." --Jonathan Kellerman "Reporting at its very finest." -- Los Angeles Times "The book is a large act of courage, its subject an important one, and . . . [Pete] Earley does it justice." -- The Washington Post Book World "[A] riveting, fiercely unsentimental book . . . To [Earley's] credit, he does not romanticize the keepers or the criminals. His cool and concise prose style serves him well. . . . This is a gutsy book." -- Chicago Tribune "Harrowing . . . an exceptional work of journalism." -- Detroit Free Press "If you're going to read any book about prison, The Hot House is the one. . . . It is the most realistic, unbuffed account of prison anywhere in print." -- Kansas City Star "A superb piece of reporting." --Tom Clancy
