About book Sutton (2012)

"Hey kid - did you know that when the astronauts got back to earth, Collins was a mess. He couldn't eat, he couldn't sleep. Hep'd drift off in the middle of a sentence. The man could not function. Finally he told the docs at NASA that after gazing at the moon all the time, after orbiting it again and again and never actually touching it, he'd fallen hopelessly in love. His words, not mine. In love with the moon - imagine kid? Imagine how fuckin lonely you have to be to fall in love with the moon?" Sutton Willie Sutton lived at a time when banks were out of control, causing millions to lose their jobs and homes and seeking bailouts. Sutton saw only one way out, robbing banks. So began the career of America's most successful bank robber. Over three decades Sutton became so good at breaking into banks, and such a master at breaking out of prisons, police called him one of the most dangerous men in New York, and the FBI put him on its first-ever Most Wanted List. Became boring early in the book and the ending was poor. The transition from present to past was awkward.
