review 1: Master of Deceit includes a lot of interesting information about J. Edgar Hoover that will be fascinating to those who are comfortable reading non fiction books. As a whole, I was glad it was a short book. It cut to the chase and gave me the highlights and facts without spending too much time on drivel. I feel more enlightened about that time period now, but am unsure how many students will be interested.
review 2: Definitely written well informing readers about the truth of J. edgar hoover. I found this book to be more suited for adults than children/young adults. I love how the authorr craft this as the photographs and letters provide real evidence that makes you question hoover internally. The author manages to relate the story of Hoover to important
... morehistorical events giving the reader a sense of time during this period. less
