review 1: The book was okay, I both liked and disliked the "jumpiness" of it. Sometimes it was hard to keep up with the characters and who was speaking; however I loved the main character's tone. ONE HUGE DISLIKE IS HIS USE OF THE WORD RETARD. Whenever someone uses that word in a negative connotation or as an insult I find they have a limited vocubulary. I almost stopped reading the book when I came across this.
review 2: As a 911 dispatcher, I came across this book and decided to give it a try. I was absolutely appalled at how unprofessional and childish the author made public safety dispatchers appear in this book. I will have to give the author some credit though, besides his fantasy/nightmare scenario of an actual dispatch center, there were points where the actu... moreal dialogue was witty and interesting. I'd say don't quit your day job, but if (BIG IF) the author is an actual 911 dispatcher, that probably would be a very good idea. less
