Title: One of the best true crime books ever
Product review: I started watching the TV program "Homicide: Life on the Street" before I heard about the book on which it was based. A fellow fan recommened the book highly, and I can say that the praise was spot on. David Simon's prose is perfect for the subject matter, the way he paints the background of what it is REALLY like to be a "murder police" in a major US city, the description of the relationships between the detectives and their work environment, etc. There is an updated version which includes photos of some of the true life cops profiled in the book: To the fan of the series it is a treat to put faces to the names, as well as updates on what the detectives are doing now.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
