This is an absolutly amazing book. I read it last year. its the best out there. NY cops have it hard just read this guys life.

Good book and Conlon is one of us too.

Excellent reading. Reads pretty fast, keeps you interested. A good book.

Great book. Some awesome history of the NYPD also......

Never got to finish it because i had books for school to read but it was an awesome book from what i did get to read.

Good book, has too much flashbacking in the begining. But overall a good book.

A good writer with a flair for storytelling. This is the tale of a Law Enforcement family, something that we can all relate to, and well worth a look. Conlan wrote it like he lived it and he draws you into his (our) world and asks you enjoy the ride............recommended

Very good book .

GREAT BOOK! NOT JUST BECAUSE I'M IN IT! BUT EDDIE REALLY TELLS IT LIKE IT IS OUT THERE IN OUR PART OF THE JUNGLE.

enjoyble reading. def one i would recommend

It's a good read... long book though. I enjoyed it.

This book should be a read for all officers. It was a book that I could not put down!!!

I could not put this book down.

One of my favorite books! I actually started re-reading it after being assigned to a special missions unit. This book is almost like a parallel to my career. It's so close it's sort of scary.

As a New Yorker..and family to many..I know from a kid I could count on Them! Never one time in my history to tell..did I ever meet a cop who yelled..Patience and expertise was very diverse..So I have to take this as a book of its worth! As a teen there was great cover in being seen..We found a ground of "Just" cause wearing the uniform meant more than Law! It's about who we are....Apache

I would like to read this and after reading the reviews...I think that this book will be great!

Excellant book. I read it once before becoming a cop, again while I was a rookie cop, and just started it a third time after ahaving a few years behind me. I give it to every new officer I know and tell them to read it.

THIS BOOK IS AWESOME. READ IT IN TWO DAYS. LOVE IT!

I have heard this was a good book, now after reading the reviews I am going to get it

Interesting stories almost like you are there. I have passed this book on to other officers.

EXCELLENT!

Great read

Ed Conlon is a good cop who explains the job an actual NYPD officer does, almost step by step. It is a smooth, easy read that offers an education on the NYPD.

Excellent read!

Excellent book, a good edition to your library

Edward Conlon is a great author. Check this book out!!

Great book. Most memorable moment from the book was the Cat chase story. I had a similar situation on the job where I was chasing some crazy cat with an animal control officer. It was some scary stuff, and that cat was vicious. Also, its helps that I grew up near the 44th precinct in NY, and was very familiar with PSA-7 as I lived there most of my life.

Great book. A bit hard to follow during frequent 'flashbacks', but absolutely brilliant. Conlon's style and detail had me feeling his frustrations with the political NYPD BS he dealt with. His insight into the work and sacrifice involved with CI's was fascinating. This is one you'll want in your personal library for reading again.

Very well written, and a really good view of the Housing Police Bureau. I was especially impressed by Conlon's description of NYPD searches of the Twin Towers rubble. It must have been an extremely depressing job.

Awesome book

good book.
