Lawdog file

I have never been to Africa, but these stories paint a bright and vibrant picture of an almost magical childhood land. As with many true stories of the sort th Almost all of my book reviews are for books that I loved and think that others should read. As with many true stories of the sort things that imaginative, creative and intelligent children get into, it is always amazing that they survived.

I alternated between laughter and amazement at the tales, plus a few moments when a detail would remind me of an event in my own youth or that of one of my kids. Mar 11, John Davies rated it it was amazing Shelves: ebooks , non-splodey-goodness. This is the second book of Lawdog's tales, most of them are from his childhood in Nigeria, and then some more modern tales of his work as a law officer in the US. The tales themselves are quite funny, and you can imagine the fun he and his brother had growing up.

I look forward to reading more of his adventures, if he ever writes them. Aug 10, Carbonel rated it it was amazing.

Laugh out loud funny. From "that one about the snake" to the infamous honey-badger episodes, Law Dog delivers another irresistible series of short stories, most reminiscing about his childhood in Nairobi. A must have for any collection, and a great gift to give to friends and family. May 25, Stanley rated it it was amazing. Funny Please don't read this in public as the loud cackling will disturb others and require constant explanations of the characters and stories.

OMG did I laugh along with the authors stories and life experiences. Nov 21, Jim rated it it was amazing Shelves: apocalypse-lit , amusing , humor , essay.

Aug 16, ben rated it it was amazing. Great story! Fun stories. I don't usually read short stories but this was thoroughly fun to read. I'd like to read more.

Dec 30, Nichole Hollingsworth rated it really liked it. Again, funny vignettes. I am honestly surprised by the calm demeanors of both parents and the hijinks of him and his brother. Aug 13, Mark J. Harris rated it it was amazing. Great job Once again a hit! Funny and often thought provoking. I hope to see more like this. Make perfect sense to expatriates. Ann rated it it was ok Aug 28, Morris rated it it was amazing Nov 23, Joe Allen rated it really liked it Aug 30, Annette rated it it was amazing Jul 23, Phillip rated it liked it Dec 29, Aalabamadill rated it it was amazing Feb 07, Rachel Boulware rated it it was amazing Jun 01, David Deaton rated it it was amazing Jul 03, Kristine Lowery rated it really liked it Jun 02, Jesse Barrett rated it really liked it Feb 05, A problem, because I kept insisting on sharing stories with her and late at night while she was sleeping I wasn't always able to smother my laughs.

Even stories that I read before online The short stories in this collection are generally quite funny - except for the ones that are hilarious.

Even stories that I read before online in LawDog's blog were well worth a second or third read. I plan to buy copies of this book to give as presents to family and friends. Jul 30, kelly west rated it really liked it. No reference I'm i am not a cop I haven problems with file 17 it went so far over my head i missed the humor i know if was there i just had no reference. You started well recalling your audience but now at 21it's so abbreviated i have no idea what your talking about. You lost me entirely at 17 it went downhill from there your audience is people not cops so recall that when u are reminiscing.

They are good stories just remember your audience are pretty much peeps in training. Jul 15, Sean Sorrentino rated it it was amazing. The only thing better than the book is heading Lawdog tell the stories in person. The all too true stories of a deputy Sheriff in a small rural department in Texas come vividly to life in his first book. Since you aren't likely to get to hear Lawdog tell these stories in person, he being the shy, retiring type, this book is your next best option.

At least until Hollywood realizes how much money they'd make putting this in the silver screen. Jan 30, John Davies rated it really liked it Shelves: ebooks , non-splodey-goodness. This is just a collection of short stories, about the daily experiences of a small town Texas Sheriffs Officer.

The only really great tale in it is the one about the Pink Gorilla Suit. The others are a conglomeration of mundane to interesting stories about the criminals and townsfolk Lawdog dealt with in his time as a cop.

I liked it, and I want to read his Africa stories, but I suspect it'll be more of the same.. Jun 29, Kim D Campbell rated it it was amazing. Well worth your time and money I've actually followed LawDog.

I e Ben re member when his mom took over posting for a while because of the truck accident. Having said all that, it should come as no surprise that I've already read most of these stories - but I didn't mind reading them again one little bit.

And if you've not read any of them, you are in for a real treat. Jul 20, art welling rated it it was amazing. The author is a story teller of the old school. This thing had me pulling over in parking lots to read just one more story.

In true story teller fashion, he creates images in your head that talk to you. They talk to something deep inside you. Jul 21, Dean rated it it was amazing. You WILL laugh seriously, this is one funny book. In fact, I can't think of anything I've read recently that was funnier. Lawdog has a wonderful way of putting things that can't help but delight which ensured this was a pleasure to read from page one.

Top notch and well played Lawdog, most enjoyable and highly recommended. Read on Kindle Unlimited Jul 25, Larry Card rated it it was amazing. Long Wait But well worth it. If you have read the blog there is nothing new here, if you haven't you are in for a treat.

If you can get through the story about Mr. Johnson without getting a lump in your throat Jul 31, Barry rated it liked it Shelves: read-reviewed As unusual book showcasing the humorous aspects of being a small town Deputy Sheriff. Some of the tales are laugh out loud while others just make you think. Any book that incorporates an amorous drunken Amarillo and a 6 ft Chicken has to be funny.

Aug 04, T. Ann Martin rated it it was amazing. Great stories I have family that work in law enforcement. They have many stories too. I laughed out loud throughout this entire book. Aug 07, Bookwormx2 rated it it was amazing.

True to the life of small town law officers Hilarious. Small real life stories. I laughed out loud. Being married to a career law officer, I've heard stories just like these. Its real people. You can't make this stuff up! Aug 09, Mark J.

Harris rated it it was amazing. As a former law enforcement officer, I found Law Dog's stories to be not only funny but right on the money, especially when he talks about the different characters one meets while on the job. I loved it! Aug 11, David Orr rated it it was amazing. Good laughs! I think that I'll splurge on a dead tree copy, and maybe try Lawdog's Africa book. Nov 02, Guy Wheatley rated it liked it. I followed this guy for a couple of years on some forums.
