About The Real Police: Stories from the Crescent City July 8, 2012 at 11:13am Loved it. I just could not put it down. I was really sorry to see it end. This is one book I will not resell on eBay. I plan to read it many more times. I have given it a place of honor, on my police bookshelf , between Twenty Years Behind The Badge and The Cop Shop. - from an eBay buyer on 30 August 2004. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you for publishing these great stories! Harbor Police Officer, New Orleans. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Very well put together, and very entertaining. Couldnt put it down. I highly recommend this book, especially to anyone whos from New Orleans. - Jason ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just wanted you to know that my father received his book and he loved it. He wanted you to know that he thinks its the best real life police book he has ever read. He also said, Im from the old school and Prine told it like it is! Most writers dont have the backbone to tell it like it is today. Thanks James, you made his day. - Dan Lamont, North Carolina ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mr. Prine, my son is with the Jefferson Parish Sheriffs Office and I bought him your book as a present. He told me he couldnt put down your book once he started reading it, which is amazing to me, because he never reads anything! - Susan ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I damn near pi***d my britches laughing so hard at the story of the dog, the parachute, and the green bridge. Thanks! - Narcotics Detective in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am such a softie sometimes...this book made me cringe, laugh, cry, shudder, gasp, and sigh numerous times. Its a real voice of law enforcement, providing insight and emotion to the otherwise faceless people behind the badges and the sirens we see everyday. - Adrienne, New Zealand ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This book opens the heart, and educates the public to realize that you guys have hearts and souls, too. - Joan, Emergency Medical Services worker, Cleveland ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Although many of the stories were amusing (and I laughed out loud a few times), I liked your personal experiences best. Your passion and pain show in the way you tell a story. Your writing is poignant -- it is raw and real and brutally honest. Human. I hope you keep writing and continue to share your stories with us. - Regina, Nurse ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I loved The Real Police, my husband loved it, and its making the rounds at my office. - Karla, Louisiana Probation and Parole Agent ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Man, your book is fabulous! I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone; thanks for publishing it! - Teddy in Seattle ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have your book The Real Police and absolutely love it, and look forward to your next one. Good luck and keep up the great work! - Officer Matt in Hammond, Louisiana ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I just cant say enough about your book. I will never forget reading it and some of the feelings and emotions that it stirred in me. It made me laugh, made me think, and at least one point it made me cry. - Edna, Police Sergeant, Metropolitan Police, London, England ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- James Prine, you are one sick human being! I LOVE IT!!! I read some of your book last night and my wife was wondering what was going on. I was laughing out loud, something I rarely ever do while reading. Your stories are the gospel, man. You have been there and done that, for sure. Thanks for writing down your war stories for us. You are our type of story-teller, and thats a fact. - Bernie, Detective, Chicago Police ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Couldnt put it down. Never laughed so much! Also was very saddened a few times. The best true life book I have ever read about real police. - Dan, U.S. Coast Guard ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Great. Humorous. Wry. Pithy. World-weary. Savvy. Life-affirming. Downright good! - Gerald in San Francisco
