More About the Author

Devin Kerins is a career paramedic and emergency manager from New Jersey who parlayed his experiences on ambulances, eye for detail, and twisted sense of humor into writing. After writing two books of EMS anecdotes, he has turned his attention to writing outrageously funny action novels. When he is not writing or saving lives, you can usually find him reading, watching reruns of bad 1980's sitcoms, or figuring out ways to rid the world of the dreaded Asian Longhorn Beetle.

I've read pretty much every book out there written by EMTs or paramedics about their experiences. I have to say that this is my favorite one thus far. Not only does the author have fantastic stories to tell but he writes very well. I have read both of Devin's books and all I can say is, I hope there's going to be a third!

1.0 out of 5 stars Unprofessional and juvenile, December 25, 2007

The book wasn't funny and the calls were not particularly interesing. I could not bring myself to finish the book. Author sounds like a teenager loose on the world with emergency lights and sirens. I was embarrassed for my profession and would hate to have the author as my partner.

After reading Devin's first book and getting a few laughs, because I could relate to it, I decided to read his second one. Although it was a page turner, just like his 1st book, I had to stop several times and re-read alot of sentences because of misused words, wrong grammar, and all out mis-spellings which slowed things down a bit. Would I buy it again though? Hell yeah, and looking forward to #3, Devin!
