5.0 out of 5 stars Good starting point if you're interested in becoming a PI, July 3, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: PI School: How To Become A Private Detective (Paperback)

This book guides you through all the types of investigations that a typical private investigator does. In addition, the author added personal comments about investigations he conducted. If you're not sure about what it's really like, this is the book for you.

1.0 out of 5 stars The Worst Book on the Subject I've Read Yet!, June 27, 2001

By

This review is from: PI School: How To Become A Private Detective (Paperback)

To refer to this mini-book as a PI School, referencing it as a course is ludicrous. There is almost no information on how to really become a PI. There is some information on the industry, and the writing style is good and straight forward, but just no real meat. If you're looking for a BRIEF overview then this little book is excellent. But if you want real USABLE information that can help you acquire at least a basic WORKING knowledge, forget it. I've read several books on this subject and most are inadequate, but some at least offer some usable real world information. This work is greatly lacking!

4.0 out of 5 stars It's more than adequate, October 28, 2002

Did we read the same book. I learned how to tail people, work undercover and pick a lock. How-to's are laid out in chapters. It was well worth what it costs.
