Hollywood Moon: A Novel Audiobook

" Am listening to this in my car, and enjoying it! I recently listened to Hollywood Station, which was also quite entertaining. Though these are works of fiction, they are set in around Hollywood, real places, streets, street life. "

" Joseph Wambaugh's Hollywood Moon is a fast paced really funny Police procedural book that was a joy to read. Filled with hilarious anecdotes and tons of action it will make you want to read every book in the series . I have all of these and they never fail to both give me a giggle and keep me interested . "

" Good gritty police story. "

" I really do like Wambaugh's books - while he doesn't craft the most endearing characters, his writing does give me a visualization of the situation(s) and moves pretty quickly. I was thinking that I didn't like that at the end of nearly every novel someone dies but . . . that's not always the case. However, while the sad events do happen, it seems to help Wambaugh keep it closer to 'real' and as he wraps up the 'fallout', it gives you a little glimmer that it'll be okay in the end. "

" I read a bunch of Wambaugh in the eighties and really liked his work. This is good as long as he stays close to the cops. When he gets more and more involved with the criminals, I care less and less. Sigh. "

" The only thing wrong with Wambaugh's "Hollywood" series is that I can't make them last more than a couple days. They're immensely clever, funny, tragic, engrossing... With most authors who have multiple story lines in one novel, you get hooked on one and rush through the others to get back to the one that interests you. But with "Hollywood Moon" (and the other "Hollywood" books), I got completely hooked on every story line. I LOVE these books! "

" As of this writing, Joseph Wambaugh has produced four entries in his Hollywood series, and Hollywood Moon is my favorite so far (with Hollywood Nights a very close second). It is worth noting that I read these books out of order, and it didn't seem to matter a bit. If you like cop dramas that don't take themselves too seriously, this is for you. Also, Wambaugh is the exception that proves the rule that you can't write a car chase. My only regret is that I've run out of books in this series to read. "

" A decent cop TV show in book form. "

" Not his best effort, but still entertaining. Read the other Hollywood books first "

" Wambaugh's police procedurals have an unmistakable ring of authenticity. What a great pleasure to spend some time riding around the Hollywood District in his "shop." It's the third in a series. "

" You'll never look at a Barbie doll the same again! "

" It's Wambaugh, it's a police procedural, what more could one want? "

" More tales from the cop shop. Part comedy, part tragedy, pretty interesting. Never knew there were surfer cops. "

" Just as good as the other novels in the Hollywood Station series. "

" If Jackie Collins wrote cop novels this one would get a better ending, lol. "

" Funny, face paced cop story that takes place in L.A. "

" Mind candy but disappointing. The first Wambaugh book I ever read was The Onion Field and none of the others have lived up to it. "

" At times hilarious, at others unnerving--gritty dialogue of street cops and low-lifes in the array of situations in which they intersect. "

" Third novel about the street lives of the police officers of the Hollywood station. Another collection of anecdotes - some hilarious, some tragic. Planning on listening to the second one in the series, Hollywood Crows. "

" Another good one to listen to. "

" Another installment in Wambaugh's series on on the LAPD men and women of Hollywood Station, and the creatures who give it such good stories. "

" My first Joseph Wambaugh read. Not Impressed. Read like a "Dragnet" episode. Some like that style, but not my dup of tea. "

" A frequently hysterical and harrowing tangle of stories from Joseph Wambaugh, who is simply fantastic. Read this book. "

" Typical Wambaugh police procedural story. Lots of police cynicism and dumb criminals. A little long and redundant, but well told. If you are a LA police fan and like humorous stories, you will enjoy it. This is the third of a Hollywood Station police stories. The characters are the same. "

" Wambaugh's Hollywood police series is for his fans! Outrageously funny in parts, and not politically correct. "

" Second in the series that introduces an entire station of Wambaugh's creatively named cops. "

" I liked it. Quick moving story, interesting characters, some humor plus action. I would read more. "

" His schtick is tired. "

" Classic Wambaugh. Decent prose, decent dialogue, quirky characters. More of a slice-of-life-in-cops'-lives than a real mystery, esp. since the villains are so inept. Overall, an agreeable reading experience, but The Black Dahlia this ain't. "

" Hollywood Nate Weiss and partner Dana Vaughn get a call aboaut a prowler who has been attackig women. The full moon has brought out the crazies. Flotam and Jetsam stumble onto a high tech web of crime. A thoroughly entertaining Wambaugh. "

" It's Wambaugh, it's a police procedural, what more could one want? "

" Another good installment in Wambaugh's series about the cops at LAPD's Hollywood Division. "

" Anything Joseph Wambaugh writes is a book I want to read. I just love him and all of his books. This is the third in a series that I've read in 2010. "

" OK light reading but fun...I liked all the Hollywood books and this one especially. I hated what happened to Dana...and I love the esprit de corps as nutty as it is...Hey it's Hollywood. "

" Good, not great, but good....Still like his early work the best.... "

" Couldn't finish. The fake 'California/Hollywood' accents of the two cops in the first chapter would have been indicative of a beginning author... strange to find them here. "

" Listening to --- least fave of the Hollywood Station series. Not the humor or randomness that I find fun about the books usually. "

" The author is Joseph Wambaugh. How could I not like it? "

" Solid enough but the characters, while given good lines to say, aren't very well fleshed out. So the book feels more like a solid 2 hour pilot to a TV series rather than a fleshed out story. "

" Another installment in Wambaugh's series on on the LAPD men and women of Hollywood Station, and the creatures who give it such good stories. "

" Just as good as the other novels in the Hollywood Station series. "
