Hollywood Crows: A Novel Audiobook

" When I saw this one was centred around Hollywood Nate (from Hollywood Station) I groaned, but I actually enjoyed this one more! "

" Wambaugh still has it. "

" If you enjoy Wambaugh you'll love this book. "

" Another Wambaugh Hollywood police novel, with a mix of some believable and some not-so-believable cops, cons and dialog and situations. "

" I have enjoyed many of Wambaugh's books, and this one was ok, though a bit too predictable. I loved the "surfer" cops, and think he could easily do another book just concentrating on them. "

" Twists and turns aplenty, great characters, frustrating but ample plot. I'd never read it again, but learning about the Hollywood cop scene was refreshing! "

" Wambaugh is reliably entertaining. I like recognizing some of the territory of Los Angeles. This is a continuation of stories of characters assigned to the Hollywood station. "

" good "junk food" reading - nothing special, but quick and entertaining. The pop culture references made me chuckle out loud! "

" I haven't read on of his books in a long time, I still recall the Choirboys with a fond memory. I am hoping I like this book. "

" This book had been in my room untouched for over a year but when I finally got round to reading it I enjoyed it though the plot was implausible. I would probably be tempted to read his other books. "

" This is Wambaugh of old, back in his old haunts -- Hollywood Precint -- so if you liked Black Marble, Delta Star, Blue Knight and the rest of the early Wambaugh novels, you will like Hollywood Crows. wwl "

" welcome back! funny and wry and grim. "

" Much like the previous Hollywood Station and the third one, Hollywood Moon, this is a compilation of sometimes humorous anecdotes about the life of officers in the Hollywood beat. Only later in the novel, Joseph Wambaugh ties them all together with a neat bow, a tragic one also. "

" An excellent police procedural - Wambaugh at his best. "

" a great throwback to Wambaugh's earlier novels...a good read "

" Not a who-done-it or anything like it. Not much of a story either. "

" Everything by Joseph Wambaugh is good to great. This one is very good. Perfect pitch characters and dialogue and several scenes I will likely never forget. "

" I don't think anyone does modern noir better than Wambaugh. "

" Not his best, in my opinion. I usually whole heartedly and thoroughly enjoy Wambaughs books but this seemed to drag in the last third. The outcome was inevitable (and quite sad). I reserve my overall opinion with this one. "

" Incredibly depressing. I loved it "

" Excellent sequel to his "Hollywood Station" and another chance to spend some time on patrol with Wambaugh's cops. At turns laugh out loud funny and touching. Wambaugh's work has the ring of authenticity. "

" Book on CD - it was allright, a couple of interesting characters otherwise predictable, nothing like the Choirboys or the Onionfield. "

" Now I'm all UTD on my cop lingo. "

" Love Wambaugh's books. This one has some really funny moments.....like when the 300# drunk sits on the dead baby....I guess ya gotta be there. "

" Book on CD - it was allright, a couple of interesting characters otherwise predictable, nothing like the Choirboys or the Onionfield. "

" It's been at least 20 years since I read a novel by Wambaugh but I was desperate. Try spending 3 months in Florida when you don't have a library card and have read bags and bags of old books I bought years ago. I found this new in hardback for $1 so it was worth the try! "

" I really like Wambaugh's sense of humor. "

" Gave up on it...didn't seem to go anywhere...didn't finish it. "

" I don't think anyone does modern noir better than Wambaugh. "

" Certainly entertaining if that's what you want. "

" Much like the previous Hollywood Station and the third one, Hollywood Moon, this is a compilation of sometimes humorous anecdotes about the life of officers in the Hollywood beat. Only later in the novel, Joseph Wambaugh ties them all together with a neat bow, a tragic one also. "

" Gritty police stories as only Wambaugh could do. Humor evident but suffering as well. "
