Fighting Monsters: SWAT life by Sean Joselyn is a phenomenal book in which the author talks about his own experiences in life through the performance of his job.

Sean’s experiences are recounted in such a way which makes it easy for law enforcement and civilians alike to enjoy and understand. His emotions are palpable throughout the book, and each chapter is unique and draws the reader in, creating an undeniable desire to keep reading. Although Sean covers some difficult subject matter, he does so in a way which does not make the reader feel unnecessarily uncomfortable. He also does not sugar coat the real life challenges faced by him, and his coworkers, as a result of their commitment to their work.

I strongly recommend this book to any adult reader!

A good read for many reasons. Eventful, yet educational in exciting ways. If you're in law enforcement now or considering entering law enforcement, this book sheds light on the life of an officer during the good and frustrating moments of both work and private life, and the strength and commitment it takes to wear many hats. This book connects with the reader on many levels. Well written with a good balance of professional a-- kicking moments and passion!!

This book shares a cop's perspective to some of Colorado's most high profile events. Knowing Sean "the tough guy", Fighting Monsters sheds light on the other side of this job and shows how it affects even the strongest men in the profession. Fantastic book and I am better for reading it.
