Short and quite humorous, much like I imagine the film to be. Seriously, how he defines success it so straight forward, simple and real.

Fascinating memoir chronicling an unorthodox investigation into the KKK by a black undercover detective. The author tells his story in such a succinct and straightforward way, but the absurdity and humor of the situation keep you thoroughly entertained. The sad reality of the hateful rhetoric and acts employed by the subversive group becomes at least palatable in Stallworth’s mocking tale. I really enjoyed the history, the great insights, and the overall tone.

i’m sure the venn diagram of cops and kkk members is more circular than i’d like, but this was a very funny book. glad to know the kkk is just 100 racist scooby doo villains who commit hate crimes while sharing one collective braincell.

I really wanted to like this book. It reads very dry and repetitive. It has a great underlying story, but the way it was written made it hard to get through.

The audiobook version is very much recommended for the simple fact that it's read by the author himself, which really brings the story to life.
