Notice About Books The Choirboys

It's probably very dated now, but when I read this book in the late seventies as a teenager, it was an absolute eye-opener in terms of what fiction could achieve. The book totally took me in to the world of the LAPD, and I read it over and over again. Shocking, cruel, funny, realistic and poignant, I had never read anything like it. Wambaugh, in my opinion, struggled to match this book in his later fiction, although his non-fiction writing remains as good as anyones.

The gritty, unapologetic, unabashed inside view of...Oh, who am I kidding? This is a gossip rag. Who's doing who, who's not doing who, who would like to do who, and ducks.The book is a collection of stories centered around several LAPD officers who do very little police work. Their backstories are garbage. Just about every character wasn't worth pissing on if they were on fire. I was slightly entertained with the vice squad story and Sergeant Scuz, but he's only a bit player in one chapter and

One of the many things that i enjoyed very much about this book was that it showed an inside look into the lives of the men in blue even though it is a work of fiction. Joseph Wambaugh is a former policeman which allows him to articulate the lives of cops quite accurately. I also like the dialogue between the cops and how it adds to the imagery of the story and shows a different side of policemen. I believe that Wambaugh could have revealed more about each character. In the book, the syntax

For writers, this book is a fantastic example of defining and developing memorable characters by showing their day-to-day, repetitive traits. Wambaugh's characters pop fully formed into your head, set up shop, and hang out for the entire time you're reading the novel.It would have been a four-star for me, except the repetitive traits became too repetitive. Whaddaya Mean Dean's schtick quickly grew old. Instead of his repetitive, oblivious questions being awesome seasoning, they became the full

Written by Bernie Weisz Historian Pembroke Pines, Florida e mail addresS:BernWei1@aol.comTitle of Review: "The Choirboys: An Authentic 1975 Predawn Nightmare!"In 1975, a Los Angeles Police Department officer-turned-novelist named Joseph Wambaugh wrote the controversial novel "The Choirboys". Still a hot book, Wambaugh wrote this almost 40 years ago! What was happening in 1975? Pol Pot and his Khmer Rouge took over Cambodia, the city of Saigon on April 30th was surrendered to the North Vietnamese

The first novel Wambaugh wrote after retiring as a detective due to his newfound fame. The best book he's written with a distinct change in tone: dark, disturbing and overtly contemptuous of the LAPD.
