Rating:
Summary: Informative and Interesting
Comment: This is the fourth book I have read which is intended to prepare the reader for, and generally teach about, the FBI special agent hiring and training processes. Of those that I have read, this is the only one that doesn't feel like it copied 99% of its contents straight out of an FBI manual.
Rating:
Summary: Informative--That's what I needed.
Comment: A different reviewer of this book said it was dull and boring. Personally, I find the book to be a great read. If you know nothing, or very little about the FBI and are interested in possibly becoming a SA then this book is the book for you. It's very informative. If however, you know a lot already about the FBI then I can see how the book would be boring.

Summary: Informative, but dull
Comment: Unlike other nonfiction FBI books like both Ronald Kessler exposés or Christopher Whitcomb's "Cold Zero", this book lays out bare facts about the FBI. It takes you through the process of applying to become an FBI agent, what you'll encounter as a trainee at the Quantico Academy and what areas of the FBI deal with what criminal challenges.

This book reminded me of a college textbook. It has great information and lots of detailed pictures with good explanations. But you just can't read this book for long periods of time without getting bored.
