It was a crime that shocked the nation: the brutal murder in Chicago in 1924 of a child by two wealthy college students who killed solely for the thrill of the experience. Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb were intellectuals--too smart, they believed, for the police to catch them. When they were apprehended, state's attorney Robert Crowe was certain that no defense could save the ruthless killers from the gallows. But the families of the confessed murderers hired Clarence Darrow, entrusting the lives of their sons to the most famous lawyer in America in what would be one of the most sensational criminal trials in the history of American justice.

Set against the backdrop of the 1920s--a time of prosperity, self-indulgence, and hedonistic excess in a lawless city on the brink of anarchy--For the Thrill of It draws the reader into a world of speakeasies and flappers, of gangsters and gin parties, with a spellbinding narrative of Jazz Age murder and mystery.

Good, Sustained Energy That Works Better Than Others on the Market
I have never had good luck with Ginseng. I've relied over the years on increasing my caffeine dosages. It got to a point where caffeine in any form wasn't giving me the energy boost I had been accustomed to. I knew at that point I needed to change course and try something different. I had read reviews about this supplement and looked into the ingredients. I will say that I am not a fan of proprietary blends. That said, the types of ingredients and then the "oxygen" blend was very appealing to me. It was a combination that was unique and one I had not even come close to trying in any combined form in the past. Best of all, it worked well for me. If you're looking to gain energy and focus naturally, this is a formula you need to try. It's a unique mix of ingredients that work together to give me the energy, focus, and motivation I need to get through my day. I highly recommend this energy and focus supplement.

Sleepless nights - do not reco
My typical energy and focus supplement was sold out so I tried this. I felt even more tired that usual, and I had multiple sleepless nights which I’m usually a great sleeper. I stopped taking it and the sleep issues are gone. Then I read the reviews and seems like a lot of people have a tough reaction. I think it’s so delayed in response that I take it in the morning and it activates too late in the day. FINALLY able to function enough today to write this review! I recommend nutrilife Focus and Energy. More expensive but well worth it!

Feel great and makes me move
My mental health business owner niece told me about this wonderful herbal extra and I fell in love with it--learned to take with nothing else in am and it gets me going and keeps me happy all day. I will take couple 2-3 days and stop for a couple and that seeks to keep it active. I quit my antidepressant pills and am so grateful for OXYGEN Energy Focus and all natural. No one is pushing me for this review --just had to tell the world how good these are.

Sustained Energy on Demand
I am always on the lookout for a high quality supplement that provides me with energy, focus and brain support. And ... at a reasonable price. This is it! I am post menopausal and also have hypothyroid disease, so I need any kind of extra help I can get to keep me going without crashing. I take 2 capsules on an empty stomach first thing in the morning before I leave for work. By the time I get to work, I am "ready and rarin' " to go. If I miss taking Awakening, I feel tired, sluggish and unmotivated. This really helps to keep me going throughout a very long day. I usually leave home before 7 am and return home after 7 pm nearly 5 days a week. Don't hesitate to give this a try and see for yourself how good and energized you will feel. It's that extra help that will keep you going so that you can get things done and stay on-task.
