Title: Excellent and funny read
Review: When I first looked at the book I couldn't figure out why it was worth $30. Part way through, I get it. The book features true experiences and anecdotes, and I find myself nodding along with what the author's saying -- I can see myself in his descriptions of new prosecutors. I think it's a great book so far. It provides for thought and helps redirect your answer to the type of prosecutor you want to be.

Title: The best collection of advice for a newbie prosecutor ever
Review: I have been a prosecutor for over three decades now, more than half my life. I tell folks that when it comes to being a prosecutor, I've seen it all, done most. The author has too. And now he shares what he learned from those experiences with budding prosecutors. This isn't a traditional "how to" trial advocacy book; it's more of a "how-to-survive" book. Each chapter contains sage wisdom from years of experience. There was little that I didn't already know or had figured out on my own. I found myself nodding with approval throughout and wishing that I'd had this book when I first set foot in a courtroom in July 1984. Bobo speaks candidly on subjects such as dealing with judges, cops, victims, and reporters and prosecutor burn-out. He's a terrific, engaging writer. It's like sitting with a drink in a bar, listening to someone who's been there. In today's climate, where prosecutors are constantly under attack and often unfairly maligned, it's refreshing to read a work dedicated to upholding this noblest practice of law. This should be required reading for every new prosecutor.

Title: A "must read" for lawyers...an "ought to read" for everyone else.
Review: This book had to be written. John Bobo did it. Now it must be read.I was a deputy prosecutor and prosecutor for 20 years. I wish I had had this outstanding guide to help me learn in a few days what took me years to figure out.Decades of experience, wisdom, guidance, tactics, and tips are packed into a little book that could be read in a few hours.But don't read it that way. This little gem must be consumed slowly and savored. Whether you're a young prosecutor or an old one, be sure to open this book with a highlighter in your hand and a pen behind your ear. Then read, mark, and make notes. You will be better at your job after each chapter.If you're seasoned, make the baby lawyers read it. You owe it to the young to get them started right. If you're new at the job, share this book with your colleagues.What about you defense attorneys...do you need to read it? Absolutely. It has stuff for everyone. You'll see what I mean.

Title: Great book for new attorneys.
Review: This book gives wise advice to young professionals about things that rarely get discussed at the water cooler. It also touches on topics that my dad should have. It is any easy read and is written in a usable format for later reference.

Title: I loved it. While some was common sense & elementary ...
Review: I purchased this book as a casual vacation read. I've been a Prosecutor in one of the biggest jurisdictions in the country for 9 years and I was skeptical of the value this book would have for me. I loved it. While some was common sense & elementary I found this book helpful, smart & motivating. I came back from vacation ready to work. I've suggested this book to colleagues and I would recommend it to any Prosecutor no matter what your experience.

Title: Lots of Good Advice
Review: I bought this for my daughter, but I read it and think it would be helpful. While reading it I kept coming upon things that I had already heard her talk about, so I know that his advice is useful to any new prosecutor. It was actually a fun read. Gave me some insight into the world of a prosecuting attorney. I hope she reads it, too.
