Book Reviews of The Blue Knight
Book Review: An early Wambaugh book
Summary: 3 Stars
I am a fan of Wambaugh's later books but this one was an introspective, slow-moving tale of a cop's last 3 days before retirement during which nothing very exciting happens. It takes place in the 70's and gives you a real sense of that time and how policing has changed since. Reading the many descriptions of the grossly huge amounts of food he eats as he goes through his day was enough to give me indigestion. Although I did manage to finish the book, every time I picked it up I wondered why I was bothering.
