Review of Tales of a Street Bull
1 posts
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Tales of a Street Bull" by Enzo (AKA Stuart Bracken).]
Enzo started his career in the Navy. He then worked for some years in forestry before becoming a police officer with the Tacoma Police Department. He wrote about some of his experiences there and police calls that were humorous, saddening, and plain unbelievable.
Police officers are often ignored, overlooked, misunderstood, and sometimes unfairly hated. In Tales of a Street Bull, Enzo allows us to see the "behind the scenes" of police work with true stories that will make us groan or laugh out loud. Ultimately, he aims to increase our appreciation for the people who risk their lives daily to safeguard and protect the citizens from dangerous people and sometimes themselves.
This book was such a delight to read. It was like watching an action movie from the point of view of the police officer rather than the escaping criminal or bewildered passerby. However, it showed the sobering reality of police work compared to how it would usually be portrayed in the movies. Some of the author's actions in the line of work may only sit well with some readers. However, given the complexities and the fact that quick decision-making on the part of the police officer may mark the difference between life and death, one would be hard-pressed to pass hasty judgment on the author's actions.
Despite the gravity of his line of work, Enzo writes humorously. His ability to make light of seemingly tricky situations contributed to what makes him a good policeman, as the book reflects the importance of keeping calm under pressure. His writing is very frank and direct, and he does not sugarcoat any part of the story. His mistakes, regrets, and embarrassing moments are detailed just as clearly as his moments of bravery and restraint. This book will inspire anybody considering going into law enforcement because it shows how the rewards are far greater than the risks despite the struggles, loneliness, and frustration.
I enjoyed this book and found humor and valuable lessons in the stories the author shared. The book was entertaining and educational. It helped me understand how my actions would affect me and others around me.
There were many grammar mistakes and typos in this book. It was very distracting, and it negatively affected my reading experience. This book would be significantly improved if it would be proofread and edited again.
Apart from the grammar and typo issues, I found nothing to dislike about the book. Therefore, due to the number of errors, I'd rate Tales of a Street Bull4 out of 5 stars. I'd recommend it to people who love true-life stories relating to law enforcement.
