      This is a very light non-fiction read, perfect for reading a couple of pages at a time in the bathroom as you drop the kids off at the pool or as something light before bed when you're too tired for reading something in depth but not tired enough to sleep.Overall, there's some funny stories, some stupid stories and some mediocre stories, all in all it's an easy read about the stupidity of some criminals and their ill conceived plans which predictably end in arrest. So whether your looking to fill in some time whilst you're slaying brown dragons or just looking for a light read this one's a pretty good choice.

      This is an awesomely funny book! The people who wrote this book went through a lot of trouble to get these true stories from cops about the stupidest criminals ever! From a guy who falls asleep while burglarizing a home, to a drug dealer who brags to an undercover cop about his "ability" to recognize undercover cops a mile away.... it's hilarious!
