Negative Positive
Title: Where's the beef?
Review: New York City is a pretty exciting place, so I imagined, when I bought this book, that I would be reading a pretty exciting book. After all, it was written by the former Police Commissioner, Howard Safir. And, while Safir was already out of office when the tragedy of Sept. 11 occurred, he was there during the Amadou Diallo and Abner Louima cases. That's essentially why I decided to read this book, to find out what Safir was thinking during all that chaos. To my great disappointment, he didn't tell us much. In fact, throughout the entire book, there is very little feel for the man Safir is. Perhaps he and his ghost writer weren't able to communicate or maybe Safir is just trying to forget those dark days as 'top cop'. I don't know. What I do know is, this is little more than a commercial for his new venture into homeland security. Lots of fluff, very little else. Too bad. I was hoping for more.
Is the review positive or negative?
