this book is interestin and educational, especialy to kids who watch the show, csi or want to be a forensic scientist when they get older.

This book is really an episode guide to "CSI" with some forensic science information added. Episodes of the show are referenced by title, so someone who hasn't seen all of the show may be lost. If you want a little more information on forensics or a procedure seen on the show, or if you have no additional knowledge about forensics, then this book is adequate. Otherwise, pass on it; there are much better introductory forensics books for the general public available, such as Hidden Evidence by David Owen or The Casebook of Forensic Detection by Colin Evans.

While the overall book is good, the subject matter involving a brutle murder to harvest liver/organ parts for a porphyria victim was erroneous. The portrayal of a mentally deranged sicko demeans countless numbers of porphyria patients around the world. Had the author taken the time to learn about porphyria...and it's many types, and the treatment thereof, her bizarre tale would never have been aired. Shame on the author!
You owe apologies to thousands upon thousands who inherited this inherited metabolic disease and live in constant pain and misunderstanding.

This book is an attempt to cash in on the popularity of the CSI series. However, you should note that it is "not affiliated with the show or its producers"
There are several things I found annoying about the book. First, while I am a fan of the show and I think I have seen most of the episodes, the episode name dropping got annoying. Its fine if you want to say in such-and-such an episode there was an example of this, but I don't know all of the episodes by name. Perhaps an episode guidee would have helped here.
Another annoying recurring theme in the book is the vague references (with too little detail and too little information) to "real" crimes from around North America. I know these are used to describe what happens, but I think there would have been a much more effective way to present them.
My main complaint about the book is that it is scattered all over the place. While much of the information on forensics is there, it gets a bit repetitive and mish-mashy at times. The book is organized along themes, but the themes tend to cross-cut meaning that the author refers back to the same principles on more than one occasion.
If you are truly interested in forensics, there are lots of good books out there. Just don't fall into buying this one because of its link with CSI
