I first read and enjoyed this book about 13 years ago, having been a fan of the show, and I enjoyed the book then. Coming back to it now, though, I better appreciated how truly brilliant it was, and how audacious a project. In a lesser writer, this would have degenerated into cheap pulp, or incomprehensible complexity, very fast. But Simon hits just the right notes, putting complex and overlapping stories together in a discernible manner without oversimplifying. He also has knack for capturing the drama in what is, for his subjects, the quotidian. You might find that he goes too far in certain passages describing homicide bureau culture, but the line is subjective and I cannot think of a better work for capturing the daily lives and attitudes of its subjects. And as for drama: I defy anyone not to cringe at the portrayal of Detective Pellegrini's degeneration into obsession and self-recrimination in his determination to solve a child-murder. It's also important to remember how brave this endeavor was at the time. This was before embedded, fly-on-the-wall journalism became popular, and indeed I think the book is probably one of the reasons the genre succeeded. There are some problems along those lines, it being one of the early examples of the genre; Simon, for example, writes entirely in the third person and never acknowledges his own presence. The literary effect is awesome; like in cold blood, only narrated in the present tense. But it also feels a little off; he is after all, ignoring the presence of someone in the room who might be affecting the dynamics, even if that person is just himself. (Evan wright's Generation Kill, something of a successor to Simon's work, shows how a similar book can be done in the first person.) But, I as I said, as a literary device, it works very well overall.
