"The Choirboys" is not only Joseph Wambaugh's best novel to date; it belongs up on the shelf of modern American classics along with David Mamet, Raymond Chandler, and Joseph Heller. It's just that good and unforgettable. Wambaugh puts everything he knows about being a cop into this novel along with slashing, satirical prose, Vonnegut-like black humor, and a sorrowful humanism to produce a masterpiece. By R. W. Rasband

I do not believe it is one of Wambaugh best.. I like "Delta Star" a lot better, but you never hear about it.

A Wambaugh classic. Anybody who has worked patrol will immediately bond with the Cops in this book. It contains all of the raw courage, humor, grittiness and pathos that are the solid basis for all Wambaugh police books. I recommend this one completely.

This was a great book. I haven't read it in years. I didn't know it was still on the booklist.

Absolute Classic. The holy trinity of books for Wambaugh has to be Choirboys, New Centurions and The Blue Knight.
