Summary
In his driver’s license photo, Jason Derek Brown looks like a typical Southern California surfer - tan, with spiky hair, a red hoodie, and an open smile. The photo looks completely out of place on the FBI 10 Most Wanted Fugitives list, where it’s been since December, 8, 2007. For eight of those years, Jason appeared directly beside Osama Bin Laden. Bin Laden is long gone, but Jason is still wanted for armed robbery and murder.
For years, his sister, Jami D. Brown Martin has watched the true crime programs and read the amateur investigative blogs devoted to Jason, his crime, and the efforts to apprehend him knowing the story wasn’t as simple, nor was it just Jason’s. To be the sister, brother, or relative of one of the world’s most wanted men is to live every day with the horrible truth and many consequences of his brutal act.
Center of Attention is the story of a former Mormon missionary-turned-murderer. It is also a riveting look behind the façade of the genetically blessed, seemingly prominent and pious Brown family of Laguna Beach, California. It is a tale of the family patriarch John Brown, who disappeared without a trace 10 years before his son. More importantly, it is the gripping and ultimately hopeful story of the sister of one of the world’s most wanted fugitives and her journey to accept that despite being a product of the same crazy environment as her brother, her life and path are her own.

More memoir then True Crime
This is more a -coming of age in a dysfunctional criminal family- memoir then a True Crime book. Yes, there is crime and yes, it is real because it happened, but that's about it. It is mostly about the writers life. That is not in itself a bad thing because she has led a very interesting life. I can recommend it as an ingeresting memoir. The only real problem I have are the large gaps between the chapters. Sometimes up to 10 seconds. Needs some more editing on that part.
