Novel 3

The book I have been reading now is called "The Untouchables" by Eliot Ness. This is the true story of how Mr. Ness and his 8 partners brought down the infamous, 'untouchable' Al Capone during Prohibition. The story starts in 1929 and continues into 1933.

I found this book very interesting-- a real page turner. I loved the way the action, adventures, and characters were described in this story, and it made it ten times better to know that this was what really happened and that those people were real. It seemed to be a life of action, adventure, and even a little flirtation. I was very impressed with how Mr. Ness and his partners handled the whole ordeal. They seemed to have everything thought out. They even had a guy on their team who could understand Italian, so if they were ever eavesdropping or anything, they would be able to know what the gangs were saying, and it sure came in handy.

This story made me wonder how action packed the life of a cop is nowadays. Is it still just as exciting and interesting? What kind of encounters do they have? It just makes me all the more interested in becoming a journalist so that maybe one day, I'll be able to interview and report on people and stories like this.
