5.0 out of 5 stars
excellent read,
By Charlie Shafer (Taylorville, Illinois USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Code (Paperback)
Just to learn the Code of conduct big city cops live and die by is worth the read, but Schrager goes way beyond that. He entertains the hell out of the reader, keeps those pages turning, in short entertains, and what could be better than that?

Couldn't put it down,
By Charles Pastorelli (Hammond, In United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Code (Paperback)
I read this book in three nights. I got very little sleep that week, but it was worth it. Mr. Schrager's depiction of life on the Chicago streets could only be told by somone who had been there as he had. I'm looking forward to anything else that he writes and I hope that he does it soon. Here's hoping that they can make this book into a movie, it would be dynamite.

Daniel Shrager....... another Wambaugh?,
By Bill Curry (Chicago, Illinois) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Code (Paperback)
The Code, by Daniel Schrager is a refreshing break from the usual "Hollywood" cop story. The author paints a picture of the central character, Jake Harmon, in a way that the reader can easily identify with, and puts Harmon in a situation that is actually believable, as opposed to many "cop stories". It is also a nice change that the story takes place in Chicago as opposed to New York or Los Angeles, the usual stages for cop stories.... While The Code is a work of fiction, it is so realistic that I got the feeling that it could easily inserted a disclaimer stating, "The names have been changed to protect the guilty" !! It is no surprise that the author is an ex-police officer due to the intense insight he has with "The Code"..... the unwritten law that all big city cops must subscribe to. It is apparent that the author has lived what he is writing about. As with books written by Joe Wambaugh, this novel's charm is that it's realistic yet exciting plot enables the reader to easily identify with the storyline, totally eliminating any room for boredom. There isn't a "sleeper" page in the book !! I really think that The Code would make an excellent two-night mini-series, and I look forward to more work by this author.
