- Book of the year for me!
I don't normally write reviews but after such a brilliant book, I think it would be rude not to.
The author's style of writing matches the subject perfectly, and the black humour appealed to me throughout the whole book.

Because of this book I have started watching 'the wire'(how did I miss that series when it came out?), and they have complimented each other perfectly.
Thanks for ... Read More

- Excellent, if now dated
I read this when it first came out, and thoroughly enjoyed it, someone borrowed my copy and never returned it - a crime there, surely.

Rating: - Read this and die happy.
This book is so readable. The writer is a true talent. You will learn, be entertained and informed. Buy or share it with your kids, spouse , friends and grandparents.

Rating: - reissued,repackaged and required Reading
How do you fill the void left after watching the final episode of one of the greatest tv shows of all time ? Go back to the source and that's what this is without this book there is no The Wire. It's a remarkable book and one that hasn't really dated unlike the TV series of the same name.
The premise is well described David Simon writes about a year in the life of the homicide department of Baltimore what suprised me was that it isn't written for the journalist point of view so instead we get informed ... Read More
Rating: - Gritty and Realistic
A true "no over the top" crime book told with honesty and well worth a read.
