Book Reviews

Kudos to you and Claude for being able to publish your books based on incidents that occurred during your time in law enforcement. I'm sure it is enjoyed by not only fellow officers, but citizens alike. Good luck on your follow up book to be completed by 2010.

Sincerely,
Joseph M. Arpaio
Sheriff, Maricopa County Sheriff's Office

"When a cop is telling his story he has a very straight face but when you read these stories you'll have anything but a straight face."

William B. Lindley
Associate Editor
Truth Seeker Publication.


“From a "Civilian's" view, this book brings a warm and light side to law enforcement. Cops are just like everyone else. Could not put it down without wanting to pick it up and read more....great book!!"

Linda and Bill Hironimus, Maui, HI

“After 30 years in the business I thought I had heard them all, then Harry comes out with this book. This riot of a read owned my attention and made me laugh. These true stories capture the essence of how funny and crazy a cops' world is. This is the real deal – cop humor at its best!”

Clyde R. Kodadek
Lieutenant, Retired
San Diego County Sheriff’s Department

“…a collection of memories and stories from the purest source: deputies and officers relating their own experiences and the moments that carried them through. It's an engaging glimpse into the humorous side of Southern California law enforcement. The contributors are not professional writers. They're law enforcement officers. These are the stories they tell themselves, related here just as comfortably as if they were unwinding after shift. These stories are an enjoyable read.”

Tim Long, San Diego Police Department, (Retired)

“We’ve all heard that truth is stranger than fiction. Harry Penny Jr.’s new book proves without a doubt that the truth is funnier than fiction! This book is a must read and nearly impossible to put down once you’ve begun. An inside look at how officers maintain their sanity when dealing with incidents that sometimes defy the imagination. Factual, informative and humorous…a great combination and a great read.”

Jerry Boyd
