first off, I've probably read this book about 15 times and it never gets old. I'ts not just because there r a lot of cuss words and I'm 14, and even it is a true story, the story is the best part. not the action, blood, violence or any of that stuff there is even humor woven into the all the action which is mostly in the chapter "april fools day".also there is a retard officer(bob) which gets pretty funny. so all in all a great book that will pane you come back for more again and again. and by the way I'm not mary galla I'm her son
