I just ordered this book on Amazon. I know that it is controversial. Before I read it I'd like opinions on it. Is it all a bunch of BS? Any insight welcome. Thanks.
Also there is another book called "Speed Kills: Who killed the Cigarette Boat King, the fastest man on the seas?". Is that book any good? Again, all opinions welcome.

"Nearly a decade later, two men pled no contest to charges related to Aronow's killing.[3] In 1995, career criminal Bobby Young admitted to shooting Aronow and pled no contest to second degree murder, eventually providing a full confession in 2009 shortly before his death.[3] Ben Kramer, winner of the 1986 American Power Boat Association Offshore Championship, pled no contest to manslaughter in 1996.[3][4][5] Kramer had a business dispute with Aronow after buying the latter's USA Racing Team but was forced to sell it back to Aronow after the Customs Service refused to do business with him.[3] Kramer was already in prison on a life sentence with no possibility of parole following 1988 and 1989 convictions for drug smuggling and gun charges, as well as receiving a 1990 conviction for a failed escape attempt by helicopter from a federal prison near Miami."
Isn't a no contest plea or a confession the same thing?

I've got a documentary called "thunder man ". Has Ben on phone interview from prison... the part I remember was him saying "people want to be a part of something, they talk about Don, they just did business with him. He didn't even like you... Me, I was with the man 6-7 days a week."
I see that everyday. People are nosey and want to speculate about everything, and they usually don't know enough truth for a paragraph.
Just my $.02.
