Hollywood Station

A Novel

De: Joseph Wambaugh

Narrado por: Adam Grupper

The Grand Master of the police procedural returns to the Los Angeles Police Department in a gripping new audiobook about life in one of the more sensational police forces.

They call him the Oracle. He's got 46 years under his belt and more hash marks than a football field. More importantly, he has a crew of cops to look out for on the streets of Hollywood. From his understaffed office at Hollywood Station, he keeps a close eye on his squad who spend their day in patrol cars, and their nights in the underbelly of a city that never sleeps. As they make their way from the drug dens to dirty street corners, a string of seemingly unrelated events lures the cops of Hollywood Station to their most startling case, reminding them that nothing is too horrific or extreme for Los Angeles.

In his long-awaited return to the LAPD, Joseph Wambaugh takes his listeners on a raucous ride through the streets of Los Angeles and into the heart of the LAPD, where no one's safe from the gritty city - especially the cops.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Outstanding....The master proves that he can still deliver." (Publishers Weekly)
"A triumphant return....High-voltage suspense drives the tale, and as always, Wambaugh's characters, language, and war stories exude authenticity." (Booklist)

Depressing Characters

This book had such depressing characters. It was hard to digest. It was so dark & hard to get past the sadness of their lives.

Great listen! Love the narration

This was my first Wambaugh book and I really enjoyed it a lot. Adam Grupper is a great narrator! Loved it.

Good One !

If you could sum up Hollywood Station in three words, what would they be?

A great Story. Wambaugh just gets better with each book. I get the feeling that I'm at the scene witnessing the insanity of Hollywood and the criminal world.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

This book is full of reasons to laugh and cringe.

Brilliantly written!

Met all of my expectations and more. A true suspense-filled work from beginning to end. I didn't want to stop reading!

Good story but production needs work

The story and the reader were good.
The weird music in the middle of chapters needs to be removed because it was distracting

Loved the Humor

Excellent voice work, the characters were people I really got attached to. Looking forward to listening to the other books in the series. This book compared very well to Wambaugh's earlier works.

great cop story

great and well performed audiobook. you'll feel for these characters. Wambaugh is the master of police fiction .

Great Stuff

I had forgotten how much I enjoyed Wambaugh's ability to bring his characters to life. I typically don't like fiction, but his characters and stories seem based on real events and people and I actually feel like I am learning something along with enjoying the story.
