Query: Painful

There might have been a few good points and concepts related to police supervision in this book, but they were lost in the painful drivel that surrounded them. Just looking at the plain blue and gray cover of the book makes me cringe. Other reviews indicated that some people actually liked it, so maybe I'm wrong.... but, I'd rather clean the backseat of every patrol car in my department (by hand, with no gloves) than read this book again.
