Summary: the best un-intentionally hysterical book ever
Review: At best, Bo is the funniest cop since Stallone in Cobra. At worst, he demeans our profession by painting us as loutish brutes who shrink at the sight of his midget ass. Bo Dietl is no representative of policemen. He is an embarrassment. We actually aren't scared of bad guys, we love our families, and when we take the Job we tend to relinquish our ties to ORGANIZED CRIME. Bo has done nothing that every other cop who wears the badge hasn't done before, He only loves telling you about it, be it fiction or fantasy. The latter mostly. But, If you want to laugh harder than you have in your life, read this idiot's autobiography, it will kill you

Summary: A one man army against the dregs of society in New York City
Review: I really enjoyed "One Tough Cop", it had some very exciting moments, there were many times when I couldn't put the book down until I found out what happened next. Without taking anything away from the book, I felt that this was mostly a bragging session for Bo Dietl, who maybe had a slight complex about his height, but, nonetheless, he showed true heroism in his police career. Above that, "One Tough Cop" was a well written story which I definitely recommend to anyone in law enforcement or interested in that field. This book will definitely give a little taste of what it is like to be a street cop, and show how "political" large police departments can be.

Summary: Braggadocio Bo
Review: Richard Bo Dietl has all those people that were never cops believing that he was the baddest of the baddest, when it came to police work. ... Unlike true hero cops like Frank Serpico, Bo has never been for the underdog as he wrote in his book. ...Having fired your gun in the line of duty does not make you a better cop. But Mr.Dietl knew that it would make a better cop story, and went along with the Hollywood boys, fooling the public to believe he was one tough cop. ...I'm not saying he was not a good cop, I'm just saying he is just a bit full of [explicit]"Bragadocio Bo" is what they should have called his book and movie.

Summary: Not a bad read, but a bit overblown
Review: This was a pretty good book to read for pleasure, but I found myself groaning out loud at some of Bo's claims, such as " I single handidly broke the overtime bank".Make no mistake----I would not want this guy chasing me down an alley, unless he was my partner. There was just too much machismo that was unbelievable.
