After wandering upon the film adaptation of ‘My Policeman’, I immediately ran to buy the book. I was hoping for a more in depth explanation of what I had watched yet I feel like the movie gave me more detail and explanation than the book ever could. Which is very surprising. The ending was pitiful compared to the films and the detail that was left out, made the book a bit drab. In all though, this story is very near and dear to my heart and it wasn’t all too bad. Just don’t expect a thrilling ending.
