Acerca de esta escucha
Partners in the Los Angeles Police Department, they’re haunted by terrifying dark secrets of the nightwatch - shared predawn drink and sex sessions they call choir practice. Each wears his cynicism like a bulletproof jockstrap - each has his horror story, his bad dream, his night shriek. He is afraid of his friends–he is afraid of himself.

They live and work in a dizzying mix of moguls and starlets, elaborate parties, outrageous and sordid actions; a place where sex and drugs are open and the big deals are undercover.

With its brilliant and brutal portrayal of the Corleone family, The Godfather burned its way into our national consciousness. This unforgettable saga of crime and corruption, passion and loyalty continues to stand the test of time, as the definitive novel of the Mafia underworld. A #1 New York Times bestseller in 1969, Mario Puzo's epic was turned into the incomparable film of the same name, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture. It is the original classic that has been often imitated, but never matched.

Unlike other branches of the armed services, the Navy draws its police force from the ranks as temporary duty - Shore Patrol. In this funny, bawdy, moving audiobook set during the height of the Vietnam War, two career sailors in transit in Norfolk, Virginia - Billy "Bad-Ass" Buddusky and Mule Mulhall - are assigned to escort 18-year-old Larry Meadows from Norfolk to the brig in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, where he is to serve an eight-year sentence for petty theft. It's good duty, until the two old salts realize the injustice of the sentence and are oddly affected by the naive innocence of their young prisoner.

This is a Masterpiece….
I am no cop, but I have been involved in the criminal justice system as an attorney for over 40 years… I am also a multiply-deployed, combat veteran… And the insight of this book is amazing. It is a psychological story. It is a terrific commentary on PTSD, it is a terrific mystery. and it is an indictment of bureaucracies and the toadying sycophants, who invariably rise to the top, It is a social commentary, it is humorous, it is sad and… it is life. What did I say above? It is a masterpiece. Even more importantly, it is a book that should be read because it pulls no politically correct punches… When I think that the Choir Boys might not make it past the editor for fear of the virtue, signaling social arbiters, determined to destroy freedom of expression, I thank God the first amendment, though battered, still stands.

Excellent Novel and Narrator, Missing Prologue
One of the best audiobooks I've heard. Unfortunately, they seem to have accidentally failed to include the two-page prologue. It takes place during the Vietnam War - two unnamed Marines, one tall and one short, are hiding in a cave hoping not to be discovered by the enemy. The tall one nearly freaks out and reveals their hiding place, but the short one quiets him with a hug, a pat on the shoulder, and the words, "Hush now, I'm right here. You're not alone." Then as the novel progresses, the reader figures out which pair of police officers these Marines are.

Loved it
You don't have to be cynical to enjoy this read, but it helps. Each character is an over the top take on a characteristic I can place on a fellow officer that I either work with now, or have in the past. Now, none of them as intense as those in the book, but enough to remind me of them. I enjoyed the narrator's voice he applied to each of the characters. There was a mild but steady build up to a larger incident at the end that kept me listening. I highly recommend this read to any who are now, or have ever been, "on the job"

Powerful dark humor
I can remember Joseph Wambaugh saying this was "the truest novel I've ever written" or words to that effect. It's a very raw, very honest portrayal of Los Angeles in the 1960s, seen through the jaded eyes of patrol cops. Parts are laugh out loud funny, and parts will bring tears to your eyes.
A note for modern readers--a lot of the language is very crude, including some racist and sexist language that would not get into print today. Like I say, though, it's honest, brutally honest in many places.

Great Book- Terrible Reader
This is a Wambaugh classic- I read it when it first came out and is a gritty, sometimes hilarious glimpse into the world of police officers almost anywhere. The narrator, however, was very distracting and the voice characterizations were horrible. All the white cops sounded like they were from New Jersey- this is LA, not Hoboken. Great story, loses something in the translation

True and funny and sad
I was a choirboy groupie. I didn’t do what the girls in the book did, but I attended many a choir practice. This book is so spot on, and hasn’t been outdated much at all. Cops DO get off work and can’t just go to sleep, at 3 am. They have the most tense jobs of any other person I know. I have loved some and hated some. If you want to know what being a policeman is really like, this is like riding along in the car and just watching their lives and jobs. It’s beautifully written and read perfectly. It’s one of my favorite audiobooks and I listen to it sometimes still, up until the end, when I get too sad. I believe the author was a cop and his story is like reading a compilation of every cop I’ve ever known. Lots of brass that are up and coming and don’t do a lick of police work. I hate that I dislike so many cops now and how they feel they have to act, to protect themselves. It’s a thankless and underpaid job. If you want to know all about it, read this great series of vignettes. I like to think there’s no need anymore for choir practices, but something tells me I’m being naive. Again, a beautiful story and perfect read!
