A review by 5wamp_creature
The Choirboys by Joseph Wambaugh

4.0

Very entertaining and often humorous horror/thriller about LA cops. I think one may want to be a cop for good reasons, but soon one becomes as psychotic as the criminals one deals with. I think crime is an act of desperation or last resort. I think the cops can't/don't have empathy for criminals: they see criminals as a lower species that need law enforcement help the way a biting dog needs to be beaten--that is, a response that often does not remedy the problem.

I wouldn't recommend this book for you if didn't think Animal House was funny.
