4.0 out of 5 stars Thanks for keeping it real!
This author certainly kept it real. I COULDN'T PUT THIS BOOK
DOWN. I noticed a few typos in this book, but I've done the
same for some bestselling authors. I am the wife of a police
officer and have seen and heard worse. Of course some people
experience more and others less. Some of the language is
hardcore, but I understand that she was...

1.0 out of 5 stars This is not the life of a cops wife
I have been married to a law enforcement officer for 10 years. This book is everything to do with a woman who is self absorbed, and nothing to do with being married to a cop. It should have been titled "I have nothing else to do with my life, so hey, why not write a stupid book". If anyone wants to know what it is like being married to the badge, you are...

This review is from: Married to the Badge : A Wife's Tale of Survival (Paperback)
I have been married to a law enforcement officer for 10 years. This book is everything to do with a woman who is self absorbed, and nothing to do with being married to a cop. It should have been titled "I have nothing else to do with my life, so hey, why not write a stupid book". If anyone wants to know what it is like being married to the badge, you are better off staying far away from this book and talking to some real LEO wives. My disappointment in this book is extreme. I am actually angry at the writer for using that title. It is not at all about being married to a Cop.

1.0 out of 5 stars The most horrible book, September 14, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Married to the Badge : A Wife's Tale of Survival (Paperback)
This book was awful. It had nothing at all to do with being married to the badge. Plus her grammar is horrible. There is no point to this book, unless you just like to read a bad book for the heck of it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievable, September 11, 2003
This review is from: Married to the Badge : A Wife's Tale of Survival (Paperback)
This was no where near the true life of being married to an officer! It is a disgrace to police wives and their husbands.

2.0 out of 5 stars More of a novel than helpful...., June 26, 2003
By 
This review is from: Married to the Badge : A Wife's Tale of Survival (Paperback)
It wasn't a bad novel, but I would not recommend it as a book to help police families because it just doesn't. It is an ok story with some very harsh language that I was suprised about and quite a few typing errors (bad editor). As the wife of a police officer, I was expecting more of an inside look into another LEO family, instead I got a bedtime story. If you are looking for support or insight, look somewhere else.

This review is from: Married to the Badge : A Wife's Tale of Survival (Paperback)
Not sure who proof read this book- if anyone! The grammar and spelling is horrible. There are tons of typos. Putting those errors aside, the book lacked taste and I was disappointed in it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, December 18, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Married to the Badge : A Wife's Tale of Survival (Paperback)
I would NOT recommend this book for families of law enforcement officers. It does not portray the typical lifestyle of a law enforcement officer. The author (in my opinion) wrote this book based solely on her experiences. There are typos through out the book. It also has VERY explicit language and intimate details in it. I was highly disappointed in the book.

Yet, she isn't alone in the type of language she uses. Look
at "Cops". On another note, McMillian uses heavy language to.
Go on girl!
