New CSI Book!

"Hello!

I just wanted to share a great new CSI book I found—it’s called Investigating CSI, and it’s an anthology of essays by different authors about all three of the shows. There’s a great essay by a real-life CSI who has actually shared crime scene stories with Anthony Zuiker, and he explains what professional CSIs think about the “CSI Effect.” There’s also a thought-provoking essay on how the shows influence the crimes of real-world criminals, but my favorite is by another professional CSI, Christine Feldstein, who tells all the details of what actually goes on at a crime scene. “The Majesty of Maggots” kind of turned my stomach for the first bit, but it was very interesting, too! Anyway, it’s a well-written, attention-holding read, and it really made me appreciate the show and the actual occupation even more. I recommend it to even a casual fan. You can get it at either amazon.com or at smartpopbooks.com, and here’s the link to that if you’re interested: http://smartpopbooks.com/allbooks/index.html#CSI. There’s a blurb for the book that is probably more indicative of the contents than mine is! They also have a whole line of books addressing hit TV shows, so it’s a good site regardless of whether you want the CSI book or not! I also bought the Getting Lost book.
