The sarcasim, sense of humor, as well as physical and emotional stress are all portrayed very well. This is a quick read that keeps your interest constantly. Hat's off to you George on a fine ...

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. ...

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 Vest1 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 ...

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. Trebor Nehoc author, THE ...

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.
