it seem like be suppose to hate this one but i love it and i be sorry but there you go . maybe it be because it come out at the time when punk have just happen . to me the book and the movie be such a break from the usual stereotypical pro authority nonsense we be be regularly serve up at the time ( and sadly we seem to have get back to these day ) . naturally the book be and by far and the good experience ( a genuine laugh out loud read to be highly recommend ) but nevertheless i find both hilarious and a long overdue reality check on the forelock tug blind belief in benevolent and always virtuous authority ( something which apply well outside of the confines of any police unit too ) . i think it a real pity we seem to have lose that very healthy irreverence and scepticism and be today saddle with way too much haughty hard face tedium and an expectation that we blindly trust authority figure .
