I really don't know how to describe this book...it started out seemingly trying to be the most crude and offensive book it could possibly be. Either that, or that was really how the LAPD was back when this book was written. It also started out as a mish mosh of characters and introductions and randomness, then, it feels like, the actual true plot of the book came through halfway to three quarters of the way through the book. But, luckily for me, I embrace the crude and enjoy it, so this book was an interesting trip through the wild and wacky world of Wambaugh for me. If you are easily offended, this one isn't for you, but if you enjoy it, this could be a definitely interesting one for you. ( )

The Delta Star is filled with quirky characters who spend the vast majority at a local watering hole getting drunk. In between they tackle several cases. This is not a gripping, can't put down thriller but it did keep my attention. ( )

It's Joseph Wambaugh, cop lovers. That means it's either extremely good or tremendously great. Either way, it's worth a chunk of your change. Buy it.Dam ( )
