Nine-o Adam 4 reviews Adam Matkowsky
Authorhouse, 2004
California Book Worm
+ Hey I know this guy + Nine O Adam
One of the better cop books I have read in awhile. It is definitely not a "me, me, me" book if you know what I mean. He doesn't mind a joke at his expense. Ironically I had just finished reading 'Jarhead' when I started 'Nine-O Adam'and the two shared some of the same experiences on the same soil. ...

N.Y.P.D. True 1 review Anonymous
AuthorHouse, 2005
Trash
I had high hopes for this book but it turned out to be terrible. First off the writer does not even know of what he speaks. He claims to be a member of the NYPD. Yet the book is filled with inaccuracies. In the Preface He calls the former First Dep Comm John Timoney, "Patrick Timmony" He calls ...

Five Year Vest 1 review Mike deMarino
Seaburn, 2004
Read this, before you apply at the NYPD!
Forgive the sometimes bad English and focus on what he's telling us: his experience of the worst 5 years of his life in the NYPD! A must read for anyone, who would otherwise blindly fall for the NYPD's sales pitch on the subway posters in New York City (to become one of New York's Finest). It ...

Tunnel Vision: (Thru the Eyes of a Transit Cop) 3 reviews W. K. Brown
iUniverse, Inc., 2005
from another NYC transit cop:
+ Look out on the subway + Greatest Book Ever
An LAPD writer friend of mine just found TUNNEL VISION and asked me, "How about reviewing the book?" Well, when he reads it, he'll say, "Nah, that can't be..." But if he was Transit like me, he'd say, "Yeah, he nailed it, alright." W.K. Brown nailed it. Great read.

Great story/great book ...
I'm a fan of Bob Mladinich first true crime account of New York serial killer Joel Rifkin ("From the Mouth of the Monster") ... I've also had the pleasure of meeting the big guy (Mladinich) and he's the real thing. This is a very well research and written account of a fascinating crime.
