This book is a very quick read. I consider myself a slow reader and I got through it in 3 days. I laughed out loud through the first half and couldn't put it down until I finished. It was given to my by an NYPD detective in my Reserve unit. He knew I was interested in becoming a PO and thought I would enjoy the book. I loved it and highly recommend it. He told me he was having flash backs to his early years on the force.
