RE: Reading Report for "God's Gunners, Booty Bandits, and Bad Boys" by Christopher Eckhardt
DATE: May 30, 2007
Please review the reader's repor for the above noted manuscript. I recommend it for publication...
Christopher Eckhard's "God's Gunners, Booty Bandits, and Bad Boys" is the autobiography of a man who has experienced the highs and lows of life, and learned from each meaningful event that freedom of expression must be preserved at all costs.
The author spent nearly five years in a Florida prison without due process. He says, "I was imprisoned...for being a former Vietnam War protester, conscientious objector, lifetime pacifist, and current gay Democrat. Violent criminals received less time than I did by the same system." He lived in Florida for eighteen years without as much as a speeding ticket....
He recounts his special love affairs with Blue and J.D., and the difficulty of developing a loving relationship with his partners behind bars. He became adept at working the system, however, and never gave up on his long-standing belief in the dignity of the human spirit. He says, "Prison was my tsunami, and I survived." He now lives in a homeless shelter, and continues his campaign for justice, and despite three suicide atempts, lives every day to the fullest.
"God's Gunners, Booty Bandits, and Bad Boys" is a stark look at prison life and the penal system in general. Despite Christopher Eckhardt's considerable awards and recognitions, he does not flinch when he describes the injustices he suffered....The narrative contains many flashbacks to the author's childhood and family life that add depth to the work. This autobiography should capture the attention of the author's readers, giving them an insider's look into prison life."
"...Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethern, ye have done it unto me." Matthew 25:40
