  • AWESOME

    This is an AWESOME book, I read it a long time ago and decided to own a copy to reread it. David Simon is the author, he created "Homicide Life on the Streets" my all-time favorite television series. Also, "The Wire" the HBO block buster. All of these are about Baltimore Maryland when David was a newspaper crime reporter.

  • Reading

    The reason I got a copy of this book was because of the author. I am a big fan of HBO's The Wire and have finished the seasons so I am interested in reading the material to which it derived from. "The Corner" (I believe there were 6 episodes of this before The Wire was made. I wanted added reading material so I picked up Homicide. Also, I think I bought Homicide by accident when I was trying to get "The Corner". Still, I enjoy reading and need to exercise it more in this online world.

  • Just read it...

    I know the size of this book can be a bit daunting, however, once reading commences, it proves to be an excellent, engaging, and unique book. I would categorize this as somewhat of an ethnography or anthropology/sociology book. It explores in depth the experiences of Baltimore homicide officers. Beyond the classic books, I would have to say this is one of my favorite books ever. Note that this book formed the fictionalized used for HBO's The Wire. I strongly strongly recommend reading this book.
