5.0 out of 5 stars Bad/Good old days of Graffiti
Joe Rivera provides a great insight into both the good and bad old days of Graffiti, from the 1980's thru 2000s. With lurid and fast paced narratives worthy of Mario Puzo or Donald Westlake, his stories read like adventure stories, with one difference: They are all true. Any fan of Graffiti, The New York City Subway System or New York City itself will find this book...

Joe Rivera provides a great insight into both the good and bad old days of Graffiti, from the 1980's thru 2000s.

2.0 out of 5 stars 20 years of getting even, February 19, 2009
This review is from: Vandal Squad: Inside the New York City Transit Police Department, 1984-2004 (Hardcover)
I have to admit I was quite disapointed with this book, I was hoping to find real nice pictures of exclusif peices as they suposedly took everything that was done in New York during does 20 years but the whole book actualy focuses on the author and his failing struggle to become a recognised detective. The "hot" stories about arrests can be summed up in one sentence : "We saw him, caught him and he either admited it or not but then was released". Furthermore the little pictures that are in are either either uninteresting or already seen on the internet :-(

1.0 out of 5 stars terrible, January 25, 2009
This review is from: Vandal Squad: Inside the New York City Transit Police Department, 1984-2004 (Hardcover)
This book is written terribly by an uneducated man, Joe Rivera is a joke to society that has spent his life chasing down kids painting, never man enough to stop real criminals. Now he wants to capitalize on his lack of manhood. Please do not support this man or anything he stands for.
