Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets by David Simon


An amazing insightful read. The dense fact laden prose is offset by an amazing cast of characters and a rich collection of anecdotes.

I felt the book flagged a little in the middle due to the repetivie nature of teh activities being covered. However after a few days break I would be back for more. Some chapters were increbibly memorbale and difficult to put down even as my train pulled into it's station.

I really must rent or buy The Wire.
