Birdman: The Many Faces of Robert Stroud | Jolene Babyak

1 post | 1 read | 1 to read

A genius? A scientist? A sociopath? Known to millions as the "Birdman" of Alcatraz, was he the earnest, warm-hearted "bird doctor" and writer of two books, as portrayed by Burt Lancaster in the 1962 film? Or was he a far more flamboyant and diabolical double-murderer, whose event-filled, tragicomic life converted a 12-year conviction into a 54-year death sentence? Meticulously researched, with never-before-published prison reports and Stroud's own writings, with quotes from prisoners, officers, psychologists and avian pathologists, Birdman explodes the myths surrounding Robert Stroud.--From publisher description.

Birdman: The Many Faces of Robert Stroud | Jolene Babyak

so-so

Snowy Sunday morning meant so many puppy snuggles and getting to finish my next #LitsyAtoZ book.

I saw this at Alcatraz and decided I needed to read it. Overall it was an interesting content but some parts were boring and hard to get through but I enjoyed learning about Stroud and his unique time in prison.
