review 1: An extraordinary tale of a man's life being an informant for the NYPD and at times the DEA. Convicted of grand theft auto in 1971, Kevin Maher received a four year prison sentence despite being a minor at the time. Unforunately, this felony conviction shattered his dream of becoming a real cop. But having met many acquaintances he was still able to occassionally help the police in solving cases by wearing a wire. This book provides another account of what the world of crime and law enforcement is like. A really interesting read.
review 2: This is a non-fiction book about a man named Kevin Maher. Kevin made some bad choices as a teenager and those bad choices ruined his dream of becoming a police officer. He therefore has to live his life with "might-have-b... moreeens" and so close to his dream. If we lose one dream, should we not dream another? I think young people should read this book in order to see that an individual should grow up as a law abiding citizen. We are human and we make mistakes but we must learn from those mistakes and the mistakes and examples of those who lived before us. We must be open to change because that is the only way we can become better human beings. For Kevin, the people who changed his life for the better, were officers Jim Doherty and Bobby Colaneri. less
