Recidivist Acts, Oscar Pistorius and the crime that shocked the world - feedback from Readers

"Hi Nick
I have just finished reading your latest work - Recidivist Acts - I was totally hooked!
I was absolutely useless at work today, as a result of reading in to the wee hours of the morning!
I enjoyed the references to Tolkien, Churchill, etc and the questioning of who exactly Oscar Pistorius is.
I have recently relocated to Sydney with a pharmaceutical company specialising in psychiatry - so all the Freudisms, etc referred to appeal to me just as much!
I'm on the other side of the world but will be following the trial in 'stalker' fashion!
Hope you bring a book out based on the outcome...I look forward to it
All the best,

Liezl Kitchin" - via email 

"As a reporter covering the Oscar Pistorius trial I found this eBook to be a very interesting read. It's clear that the author spent a lot of time researching and subsequently compiling it. I found that Van der Leek's analysis of Pistorius hit home and I especially enjoyed the part about the study relating to 911 callers and how you can differentiate between a guilty and innocent person by the words they use. But the book is also well written and I sincerely hope that it receives the necessary notice from publishers." - Jacques Steenkamp, investigative reporter and author of the bestselling Griekwastad Murders

"Great research into Oscar Pistorius's athletics record. South African Photojournalist Nick van der Leek digs deep to assess whether Oscar Pistorius is indeed mentally disabled or something rather different. It puts a great deal of what we saw in court into perspective. And is a wake-up call for the Sultans of Spin and their collaborators, those compliant journalists who never had the guts to expose what they should have." – Alec Hogg, Editor, writer and broadcaster 


"Recidivist Acts: Oscar Pistorius Nick van der Leek nails it. Asks the right questions. A must read." - Jani Allan, via Twitter
