[Sean · Rating 3 out of 5]

Read this book because I wanted to read about being a cop. This book was good, but largely had a negative perspective. I learned a lot, but mostly I learned that I would rather not be a cop in NYC in the late 1990s.

I respect cops for dealing with all the crap they have to everyday.
