The length went by so fast the 16 hours were over before I realized it. THIS IS THE RESEARCHED BOOK I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR. Forget the movie, forget every book you have read about these two murderers, and forget anything related to folk tales! Jeff Guinn has written the real thing. Hopefully, I am not the only weirdo that feels that way. Ironically, the ending actually made me feel sorry for Bonnie and Clyde. In fact, after listening to it, I had to go back and make sure I actually heard what I heard. I choose to only recommend.NOT criticize! Any person that is a fan of true crime, regardless of the time period the story takes place, will love this audio book. I have over 100 books in my Audio Library which allows me to say the bad as well as the good. Before I say anything about 'Go Down Together', the story of Bonnie and Clyde I do want to mention the only books I review are the ones I consider great. GET THIS BOOK.LISTEN TO EVERY WORD.Jeff Guinn, you wrote a wonderful book.

GO DOWN TOGETHER IS A FANTASTIC LISTEN!!! I learned a great deal and highly recommend this book!! Unlike some other reviews, I had no issues with the narrator. The truth of the ambush and the aftermath of their death also holds many unexpected surprises. The only thing that surprised me is that the chapter on their death almost seems anticlimatic and brief.

Hard to believe that they actually didn't die much sooner. One other notable theme was how many times they were severely injured and managed to live through it. And the story of the poverty they grew up in (especially Clyde) is almost unbelievable.

The story of how Clyde got out of prison the first time is not only interesting but unbelievably ironic. Some of the more fascinating facts have to do with the techinques they used to outgun and outrun the law. It was interesting to watch it again after reading this book and to note the 'glamorization' of the two villians, as well as the many misrepresentations in the movie. I had seen the movie with Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.

While it is truly sad what they did with their lives, their stories are really fascinating. What a great read!! Not only did I learn a lot about Bonnie & Clyde, but also about the economic conditions that produced these two outlaws.
