Selling my soul would be a lot easier if I could just find it.

The book has an almost fiction like feel, and dipping one's toe into narcotics is a pretty dangerous way to drown in their depth. I have a feeling that we are going to get nothing but unfiltered honesty from the author. I would like to delve into how he pieced his life back together. Congratulations on the BOTD.

I'm always down to read a memoir. The book title is the first thing that stuck out to me because now I'm wondering what a DeLorean and "The Drug Trial of the Century by the Sole Surviving Defendant" means. Guess I'll have to get the book to figure out these details. Congrats to the author for having the BOTD.

Thanks for the review. Sounds intense!

The spread of diseases -- not only AIDS, but a wide variety of stuff, including tuberculosis and MRSA -- is a major drawback of the prison system, and a very good reason not to send people to prison for relatively minor crimes (relative to the threat of disease incubation).

I read the sample on Amazon, and I was keen to read more, but you've suggested this book is for Christians and that there's a heavy religious tone to the second half of the book, especially the final chapter. I might have to give this a miss.

An excellent review of "In DeLorean's Shadow" by Stephen Lee Arrington! The story is autobiographical and probably redemptive. The author committed crime, takes responsibility for doing the crime and tells the story how he wants the world to view it. It does sound like he tells a good and somewhat thrilling story but some of the time is spent telling about his time in prison. The author intersperses Bible verses into the story and he asks others to turn to Christ so I think he may believe in what he has read of the Bible. It sound like a really interesting book on many levels.

"In DeLorean’s Shadow: The Drug Trial of the Century." It sounds like the book offers a compelling narrative with themes of self-acceptance, faith, and the consequences of one's actions. Your insights into the positive aspects, including the author's reflections on wrongdoing and the role of religion, provide a thorough understanding of the book's content,

Your concern about the author not notifying authorities about Loco's AIDS diagnosis is a valid point and adds a layer of ethical consideration to the narrative. Overall, it's great to hear that you found the book to be well-edited and emotionally impactful.

The look into the criminal justice system from this point of view might be of interest to me, but the mention of regular Bible quotes has put me off somewhat. Congrats on BOTD though!

It looks like an interesting autobiography regarding the author's life with details on his incarceration and finding love and freedom. However, I think I will be skipping it for now. Thank you for your review!

"In DeLorean's Shadow: The Medication Preliminary of the 100 years by the Sole Enduring Litigant" offers perusers an arresting and real to life look into a high-stakes fight in court that caught the country's consideration. Stephen Lee Arrington, the last one standing in this convincing genuine story, capably describes the exciting bends in the road of the medication preliminary that unfurled in the shadow of the notorious DeLorean vehicle.

Arrington's story is both holding and profoundly private, submerging perusers in the complicated trap of legal procedures while giving his very own close investigation feelings and encounters as the last respondent standing. The book's title cunningly represents the general impact of the DeLorean, underlining the significant effect it had on the preliminary and the lives in question.

What separates this verifiable novel is Arrington's capacity to refine the official procedures, making them open to a wide crowd. The creator's appearance on equity, versatility, and the heaviness of the preliminary adds a layer of profundity to the story, rising above the limits of an ordinary court show. "In DeLorean's Shadow" is an enamoring mix of genuine wrongdoing and individual journal, making it a convincing read for anybody fascinated by the crossing point of regulation, equity, and the human experience.

I agree with Stephen that turning to God in the face of tribulations is a surest way of getting comfort and assurance of transformation. Thanks for the review.

The author expresses their inner feelings and situations to the public, might have been extreme to go all out, however theres a message he is trying to put across, probably to encourage those going through the same and may need some guidance on the outcomes and how to become better people for themselves by avoiding some actions.
Life tends to get challenging by the choices we choose to make or made for us, but privately everyone deserves their space of events as they choose it to be. Great review.
