5.0 out of 5 stars True Police Work , November 2, 2006

By	N. hendricks "reader" (florida) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

WOW!! Intense action and a understanding of "TRUE" policework from behind the scenes. Each page filled with action and suspense --I could not put the book down. A very unique concept of involving the reader in the action and allowing us to make decisions. I read Bill Mason book confessions of a Master jewel thief it was now amazing to read the book by the author who arrested him.

5.0 out of 5 stars Badge 149: Reality with Style, June 28, 2007

By	Karen C. Dreyfuss (Miami, Fl USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As voracious a reader as I am, I have rarely purchased a book more worthwhile. I found the narrative style to be absolutely delightful, flowing smoothly and easily. Opening with the heart-pounding car chase grabs the reader's attention and interest, which never have a chance to wane.
The hatefulness and hypocrisy of the Deerfield Beach Sergeant, the ensuing pain and hardship from the injury, the pace, the perfect amount of humor sprinkled in ( I LOVED Natalie's "contributions" to the rug)...all this and more made a fascinating read. I thought the "situations" were a unique addition to the narrative, most especially situation #6, deadly force. They made the reader an analytical participant rather than a passive observer.
All in all, Badge 149 accomplished something very important: readers will have a new appreciation for just what - - and how difficult - - the role of a policeman truly is. It will also help the reader to identify with police officers as whole, multi-faceted individuals.
